So, I've been sewing since I was in middle school (in grad school now) but I've only ever used a normal sewing machine. A couple of years ago I bought a serger from a woman on craigslist but I have pretty much no idea how to use it. I'm pretty sure that the blade that cuts off the fabric on the side of the seam needs to be sharpened because when I tried to use in on some test fabric it didn't cut anything. Am I doing something wrong? Here are some pictures of it and the model number and stuff.  Question two: I'd like to make a dress like this:  and I have this beautiful kimono silk but it's totally non-stretch. My plan was to put elastic at the waist like described in the pattern but also just a zipper on the side to deal with the non-stretch-ness. Does this seem reasonable or should I just find a different pattern?
