abstract = {Sergers, also known as overlookers, are common textile machines often found alongside sewing machines in homes and makerspaces. Despite this ubiquity, their application is underexplored in e-textile research. In this pictorial, we demonstrate the potential of sergers in seamlessly integrating interaction in garments and everyday home objects. After identifying the properties of various stitches and their utility for e-textiles, we demonstrate seven prototypes that implement our technique. Moreover, we present an innovative use for sergers to 'interlace' colorful conductive yarns that we call 'sperged threads'. Using a research through design approach, we explore potential applications in several hybrid crafts, including e-textile sensors, garment making, weaving, sewing, and embroidery. Through this work, we aim to inspire researchers, and empower the maker community, to explore e-textile serging, or 'e-serging'.},
