I’ve been debating whether to buy this overlocker for weeks, worried it might be too complicated but this video has allayed all my fears. Best explanation I’ve seen. Some great tips. Well done!
Thank you, so glad it was useful, feel free to order from us if you’re in the UK: sewcreative.org.uk/product/https-sewcreative-org-uk-product-janome-dks-30/
And you made the point of the lower looper when threaded goes under the upper looper.... I followed another video saying the opposite and was pulling my hair out with frustration as the thread kept snapping. I was so glad to come across your video.. you saved from sending the thing back!
This is a lifesaver thank you! Never used or even seen an overlocker and started sewing without lifting the spool bit! All rethreaded and working now 🎉
I’ve just brought this machine and I’m very happy with it, but one problem I have that the reverse stitches appear loopy. No other stitches do this. What I’m doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
Hi - sorry you’re having problems when reversing - did you purchase from us? If so pop it back to the shop so we can take a look for you. Sorry I can’t think otherwise why it would be doing this 😊
No I live in uk, but what your video before I brought the machine. I was hoping you might have come across something similar. I do love the machine and despite the problem I’m glad I saw your video and brought this machine.
Thanks in Louth Lincs. Being nearly 80 I don’t drive much. But if you do come across that problem in the future I’ll be happy to hear from you. Much appreciate your help. Xx
Hello! I just got my Janome cover pro 2000 and tryed the coverstitch with 2 needle. The left needle thread is contantly breaking after few cm of sewing (sometimes the centre thread breaks too), I played with tension and it doesn't help. It breaks both on woven cotton and jersey. Any idea? Thanks!
Are you using a quality thread? This could be the problem or even if it is not quite threaded correctly- try it with some different thread - slow down your stitching too - good luck
Most informative sewing instruction video I have ever watched! Your hands are never covering what you are doing for more than a few seconds, the tip of your finger on the thread to show exactly where it goes. Thank you so much, keep them coming. I will be watching from South Africa 🤗
Brilliant video, thank you. I wondered how long it would take for someone to copy Baby Locks system. Although having said that; the Brother overlockers have always been easier to thread than Janomes in my opinion due to that little metal part that pulls out for the lower looper. I have to get tweezers out to thread the Janome lower looper and it’s mighty fiddly. One tip is if you need to change thread colour, just tie them together at the top and pull the new thread through.
It’s a great machine / but there’s nothing better than test driving a machine before you buy / it will all depend on your experience and what you will be sewing 😊
Absolutely brilliant, thank you. I unboxed my overlocker and rushed to use it without lifting the suspension pole and it unthreaded. So I found your video and followed along - bingo, I am back in business. You are right, it is easy, but I might have cried without your excellent and encouraging video.
I was treated to an overlocker for Xmas and thanks to your brilliant video I managed to successfully thread it. The first thread was fiddly like you said but everything else was quite easy. I know what I’m doing now and it all works as it should. Thank you!
Wow thank you so much for this tutorial you’re instructions are so easy to follow I was terrified to attempt to re tread my overlocker I watched the DVD it was so quick I kept replaying it I gave up until my friend suggested I watched UTube and then I saw your tutorial It’s a life changing Thank you 🙏
