I am making some light weight fall sleeping gowns, but my serger does not like sewing this thin knit so i used some scraps left from my wash-a-way stabilizer, cut it in long strips and serge it along the edges, work great, then just rinsed it out.

You can use the same idea on your regular sewing machine also, when the fabric is to thin or skips stitches on a knit.

I learned to do the same thing, but I use the wash-a-way that is sticky on one side. That way it stays in place and I don't have to fool around with getting everything lined up to go in the serger.
