@elenam4694 3 года назад

@@GailPatriceDesign I traded my Triumph at Sew Right Sewing in Queens, NY. They're lovely there. I was just practicing the decorative cover stitching that I learned from YOU (!) but I'm wishing for a Bernina version of the BL curve foot which really did make a difference. I like to do gentle curves. On the L890 is the C13 the best choice? I feel like it needs to be shorter, like the BL one. Perhaps I can practice with the standard (longer) foot and maybe lighten the pressure on the foot...

@GailPatriceDesign 3 года назад

@@elenam4694 hi Elena. BERNINA is coming out with more specialty feet but COVID Hs slowed down worldwide production. I will definitely pass along your excellent suggestion. (I like the curve foot too!) But the C13 foot is best for now. Don’t you love the L890? I think it’s the best serger I’ve ever used.

I’ve got some 12wt threads and haven’t been able to use them because a sewing machine can’t handle them except in the bobbin.

@GailPatriceDesign 23 дня назад

@@tammyeaton4791 hi Tammy, put a 90/14 topstitch needle in your machine and wind bobbin thread in the bobbin. Lower the tension (you’ll have to test settings) and it should stitch. I used it for lots of the built-in decorative stitches in my machine and it worked great. Let me know how you do and thanks for watching.

Can this be made on a Babylock triumph serger ?

@GailPatriceDesign 5 месяцев назад

Hi Cheryl, Most of the stitches can be created on a Triumph. Because you can't adjust tensions on the Triumph, the Twice as Nice Stitch isn't doable, but you have the beautiful Wave Stitch that shows both the upper and lower looper thread colors on the top side of your fabric. (I just put your Thread Fusion in an envelope and it will ship tomorrow.) If you have questions or need any help with the Decorative Stitches, let me know and thanks for your purchase and for watching Serger Tip Clips!

I love this. May I ask which Bernina Serger you are using?

@GailPatriceDesign 3 года назад

Hi Elsa, I’m stitching on the BERNINA L 890 . It’s an overlock/Coverstitch combo machine that stitches beautifully. It has a 9mm stitch width and a “memory” where you can store up to 100 stitches with your preferred settings (tensions, etc). So many amazing features. Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!

@londaburkettcertifiedmaste1632 2 года назад

Gail- I love your tips and have learned so much from you! Back in your Ovation days, you had available the 6-7-8 thread combo stitches, but I am not sure of the applications for these sturdy stitches! Could you do a tip clip on these someday? Thank you so much!

@GailPatriceDesign 2 года назад

Hi Londa, Im not sure which stitches you're referring to. Could you give an example? Thanks!

@woodcat7952 3 года назад

Hi Gail, love your videos, very helpful. I was wondering if you could and wouldn’t mind answering a question. I have some 0.6 mm waxed polyester thread. Would this be ok in the Evolution serger upper and/or lower loopers. I ask because it tells you not to oil the ports and I wonder about the wax. Many thanks. Catherine

@GailPatriceDesign 3 года назад

Hi Catherine, I have never had this question before and will do some more investigating. But in the meantime, use regular serger cone or other decorative threads and I’ll get back to you soon. Interesting question! Thanks.

@GailPatriceDesign 3 года назад

Hi Catherine, No, don't use waxed thread in your Evolution or any other serger. It will coat the tubes and cause problems. Hope that helps.

Hi Krystle, The BERNINA L890 is a combo overlock/coverstitch machine. It is computerized, will auto set tensions as well as allow you to tweak the settings for specialty stitches and threads. You can also save settings in the memory. And the maximum overlock stitch width is 9.0mm. The Triumph has a maximum stitch width of 7.5mm. Let me know if you have a question on either machine and I'll be happy to help you. Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips.

For a Bernina that is making a shockingly loud noise.

@GailPatriceDesign Год назад

Hi, my camera has a mic on it that is less than 2inches from the machine and it amplifies the sound. The L890 is probably the quietest machine on the market but in order to get the best shot of the presser foot, the camera and mic have to be that close. Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!

@@GailPatriceDesign The reason I said shockingly is because I have heard a bernina sewing machine before. They ARE VERY quiet.

Ugh you're such a good teacher! I wish you had the brother 1034dx to teach me tips and tricks on it 😂

@GailPatriceDesign Год назад

Hi, Every serger brand and model has its own nuances. And some sergers handle decorative threads and techniques better than others. The key is to find threads that work well on yours and be willing to experiment and test a variety of settings to find the best results. Many sergers work well with 12 wt cotton threads for decorative stitches. Please feel free to email any questions you have and if you include pics, it helps me troubleshoot faster. thanks for watching!

@@GailPatriceDesign Holy crap you replied! Thanks for replying so quick! And thanks for the tips. I just got into serging and found this one brand new for $119 from a seller on Walmart so I couldn't pass that deal up. So I will see what decorative threads will work on this machine. Thanks so much!
