It took me a long time to understand and follow the instructions to actually thread the machine in order. I kept breaking thread and I’d just rethread the broken thread. I no longer hate my serger, and I hope it no longer hates me.

@Mellysews Год назад

Same! This was a huge source of frustration for me when I first started.

@daxxydog5777 Год назад

Mine is upper looper, lower looper, left needle, right needle. If I do it any other way, it will break. Every time.

@daxxydog5777 Год назад

My other tip is use a blue dental floss threader to thread the loopers!

@TracieSmithpomeranian Год назад

I really enjoyed this presentation. I had no idea that I could swap threads on a serger without rethreading.

Glad it's helpful!

Thank you! I’ve got a Janome serger and am slowing getting past being afraid of it. 😂 I hope you’ll continue the series for us newbie sewers.

Great introduction. I chose the Babylock vibrant to learn how to use a serger. I hope you add more to this topic with the different serger stitches and maybe some specialty serger feet that are common between most brands.

There are already more in this series; check my latest videos.

You're an awesome instructor! I purchased my serger 10 years ago... failed to thread it and put it away. I haven't unboxed it since then. But your tutorial helped me thread and start my first project! Thank you!

Your advice about the pins is so important and I will remember to not use pins. My new serger/ overlocker will be arriving tomorrow, I can't wait!!!!!! Brilliant video and thanks for posting, you gained a new subscriber!

So glad I found your video. I have had my machine for many years but never use it because I could never get the tension right.

@Mellysews 6 месяцев назад

Hope you can start using it now!

She makes sewing with a SERGER seem much less complicated!

@bobbin3997 Год назад

I never saw the threading for the left and right needle by the knife before. Thank you for this series. I have the brother machine.

@Mellysews Год назад

Hope this gets you stitching!

@lucilledaub5991 Год назад

If the average cost of a serger is $300 (which is more than i paid for my 20 year old sewing machine) i'm out of my depth. If i were a professional seamstress i'd maybe take the plunge. It is nice, however, to finally understand the purpose of a serger. Thanks for your enlightening video. It's back to the zigzag feature on my sewing machine for me!

@Mellysews 3 месяца назад

Nothing wrong with using your zig zag - I only had 1 machine for many, many years of sewing.

@gladtidings4all Год назад

Your brother model is similar to my singer serger

@Mellysews Год назад

Hope this series is helpful then!

When you change color with the cone, do you push all the way down the plastic cone to keep the tread cone in place?

@Mellysews 9 месяцев назад

Yes

@simpleme5719 Год назад

I found one at a thift store for $70. I know I need it,but I need to learn to understand it. And now I need a new sewing machine 😢.😊

@Mellysews Год назад

Hopefully this series helps you understand the serger.

@donalsteinbach7034 Год назад

I watched a video on threading the 1034 D serger on youtube It was the best closeup view.Since than The 1034d is so easy go thread, so no one be afraid to serger. Its so fun

@Jin04115 Год назад

I heard that lint gets into the air threader machines and can't preform air threading. I'll keep my brother 1034 regular serger

@Mellysews Год назад

I've had my air threading machine for 9 years now and that hasn't been an issue for me.

I hate my serger. I honestly dont feel like i can control it no matter what i try. I've watched a million videos and i get it in principle but i just dont seem to be able to control it to just sew straight. Using the seam guides are useless as you can't really line up the edge accurately as the machine is so fast even when you are going slow. I feel so much more control over using a sewing machine but the serger is just crazy and i want to be good at it 😢

@Mellysews 11 месяцев назад

Try making these - great for practice and it doesn't matter what size they turn out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EQb-iQV07_Q.html
