I was trying to use zigzag and the mock serger stitch after being advised that it was totally doable, only to find out that I couldn't do it at all, lol. It really was an impossible feat!
I really didn't want to get a serger, but it seems like it's just part of sewing and it's worth the investment, especially for jersey. I'm definitely not at the stage where I would get a coverstitch machine; I have a double needle right now and it'll do.

You also need to use a ballpoint needle for Jersey. I found this out the hard way. 😱
