Rolled Hem on an overlocker - Brother M343D Serger | Abi’s Den ✂️🧵 

So glad I found this, I've never owned an overlocker although I've sewn for years, it's a bit daunting but with your help Abi I feel confident. Thanks 😊

Absolutely brilliant tutorial. Feel like I'm finally beginning to understand my over locker. Thanks Abi x

I have this machine and saw someone had finished a garment with a rolled hem. Hmmm I thought, I wonder how to do this on my machine and hey presto, your video came up! Thanks so much for this very clear tutorial- I’m off to play with my machine!

Abi you are now my go-to tutor for overlocker advice. I find the manuals just confuse me but you make it so simple. Thank you and keep the videos coming.

Thank you Abi, for a lovely clear tutorial.

Thank you Abi, your video tutorials are brilliant and you explain everything so clearly. Don't ever stop, the sewing universe needs you! You have made me feel confident with my overlocker (same model you are using here, the Brother M343D) :)

thank you i will try set up my brother toady and get hem rolling great tutorial xx

I've always avoided doing a rolled hem but after watching that I'm desperate to have a go. Very easy to follow instructions, it's also good to have things explained as to the reason for doing something. Thanks

Very very good, I need to experiment and loose the fear. Thanks

I’m still so confused on using my overlocker but am learning from tutorials like this. Thank you!

Really clear instructions, thank you, I'm just getting use to my overlocker and it's much easier to watch you than read the manual

Oh my goodness !!! This is amazing !! I've spent days/hours looking how to do this ... thank you sooooooo much x its like magic !! 🥰⚘️

Thank you for sharing this information and it’s made me more confident

Thanks for this great tutorial, just finished my first rolled hem and it’s turned out not too bad!

I got my brother 3034 in September and have really enjoyed getting used to it as I have never used an overlocker before. I got three extra feet with my machine and have used the manual to try them out, I have had a go at the rolled hem on a thicker fabric though. Your videos are great. I must get my head around different fabrics and tensions though. Thanks again

Thank you so much for very clear instructions bought this machine a couple of days ago never used or had an overlocker before was a bit daunting to start with but you have inspired me to carry on, thanks again x

I just found your channel yesterday when I was ready to throw my Brother1034D out the window 😆 You are a gem! 💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

Thanks for your videos. This is a lot of info for me to take in, so I 'save' all your videos to refer back to. Thank you!

Love the calm way you teach. Awesome video. Thank you. Val 🇨🇦🇬🇧❤️

Thank you for a great tutorial video. I recently bought this overlocker on Amazon and I'm still learning how to use it and the accessories that I need to buy. I find your videos very helpful indeed ❤❤❤

Thank you great teaching, mine is still in the box too, looks scary lol. I like my vintage singer machines for their great straight stitches but do need the overlocker for finishing. One day soon, love to watch your tutorials you make it look more accessible to use one. Take care x

Your videos have really helped me understand my overlocker which is the one you have in this video. Thank you so much xx

Thank you so much, although I will need to watch it again! 🤣 Still haven’t taken my machine out of its box as I have been too busy, but I have a few projects, including some chiffon which needs hemming, so very soon....! The more help the better! Many thanks and best wishes, Penny 😊

Oh Im swamping the net looking at reviews for all different makes of machine. I seem to be coming down to either Janome or Jaguar ATM. I cant just take the plunge. Dont mind spending more on a superb machine. Thank you so much for your tutorials as they are encouraging me to go for one.

Right just received my second hand over locker. Followed your helpful video and I’m off to see a hem. Thank you

EXCELLENT Really like the way she explain every thing💯 %

Thank you very much for this tip... It worked well on my project

Thank you for this video I purchased this machine in January 2019 so appreciate any information on it. This is my first overlocker and I must admit I haven’t a glue to what you can do with it although I can thread it which is good curtesy of one if your videos, once again thank you 🙏 xx

Great video Abi, I found this so helpful, I tend to follow the instructions for my various serger's/coverlock machines and you showed the the great idea of trying different stitch lengths and when set on the 3 it looks like a hand done silk scarf edge.

Something I have yet to try on my overlocker. You make it look so easy

Great tutorial, I’ve had my overlocker since Dec and this is so helpful! Thank you so much

Love your video. I own the same serger and love it. I am planning on trying to sew some chiffon soon and found this video just perfect.😊

Thank you for your clear and concise instructions.

Thanks so much for this tutorial. It was very helpful for me because I have one like this.

Thank you for the comprehensive demo :)

Wonderful tutorial. Thank you Abi

Superb❤ great video!

Fabulous explanation you are the best

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It’s very helpful x

I have just bought this model :)

Fab demo - very clear. Thank you. What would be the settings for a slightly thicker than chiffon cotton fabric?

Thank you Abi, I am new to sewing, and even newer to overlocking (my Xmas gift from my husband - lucky me!). I love the tip about leaving the needle threaded while you remove it, and also placing a piece of fabric under the foot while changing the needle - thank you for the tips and this very clear video. I am looking to do a rolled hem on a flounce (currently cut as a complete circle), but I get in a muddle when I serge and cut at the same time when I meet up with the starting point - have you any tips for this? Should I disengage the blade, or cut my circle so I can sew/cut without the issue when I get back to the starting point? Thank you in anticipation.

thank you so much I really enjoyed it

what's the settings for light knit fabric very slipery like those used for underwear like Lyrca.

Hi Abi love all your videos need help with new needles, what do all the letters mean and what ones should I by this this overlocker please

A great tutorial thanks

👏

Thanks Abi 💜 xx

Fantastic tutorial. Looking forward to seeing more. Had my 343D for 24hrs. Followed your threading tutorial and managed to make some recycled cloths out of Terry towelling yesterday. Just finished a rolled hem chiffon scarf by following this video. One thing I would like to ask is, I have universal feet for my sewing machine. Can I use them on my overlocker?

Could I ask about needles. My machine, a Singer S010L states needles 2022 but I’m wondering whether I can use the ranges you have indicated. I am about the sew table runners for my daughters wedding which is quite a big job. The fabric is very flimsy, a chiffon I think and I think having a fine needle is going to make all the difference but I’m struggling to source 2022.

I've followed all of these steps but its not sewing at all! The needle goes through the fabric but doesnt seem to catch the looper threads

Amazing thanks so much!!

Very clear video and so helpful. I have one question... my needle keeps unthreading do you know why this could be happening?

Thank you 💓
