OMG I have played with the tension until I have a mess. This is the best explanation of how to adjust a serger. Thank you !!!!!

This is a wonderful tutorial! Thank you so much! From an overlock (and also coverlock) user for at least 40 years! ❤

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I bought a new serger and it started out sewing well, then it went bananas. I was getting ready to pack it up, when I decided to look for a tutorial to see if I could figure out the tension. Thanks a million, now I will be the serger.

Thank you so much for this video! I inherited this EXACT serger when my mom passed and have been struggling with the tension! This video series is a lifesaver! Thank you!

Brilliant! Thanks, never thought of doing this with each thread.

This is an excellent tutorial. You deserve to be more widely known about. Clearly filmed and explained. Thank you!

Thank you for this tutorial, it helped me understand that all sergers may not perform alike, and how to find that perfect coordination for any serger. I was, however, pretty dizzy from all the camera movement at the end, but I took notes and only need to watch it once and understand. Thanks again! :) UPDATE: This was such an excellent method to find the right tension on my machine, and I thank you once again VERY MUCH for your video, it worked out GREAT for me!! :)

Thank you, I have spent hours and hours over many days trying to get the tension correct. This video is a godsend and makes so much sense. Thanks again 😊

BRILLIANT! Could never understand the tension so my serger sat on a shelf.

I am so glad I found your video... this was an absolute life saver. Thank you so much.

Awesome tutorial. I have watched many!!! I’m going to do this with mine

Thank you so much. I was able to dial in my serger.

Thank you Dana from newbie kiwi (NZ) mum n daughter learning . Most helpful

You have no idea how much this helped me! Fabulous video, thank you so much

This is a great tutorial!!! I have been playing with tension and different thead types and always forget what settings work best with which threads!! Thank you so much 😊❤️

You are fabulous. My singer was acting up and I wasn’t happy with the stitches. I did exactly as you said and it was fixed immediately. Thank you thank you. You saved me lots of headaches.

Excellent! Thank you! I’m finally serging again. I have an older Singer serger that I’ve never had good tensions. This took me a full day to do but is totally worth it. My tensions ended up at left needle 3.5, Right needle 4.5, Upper looper 6.25 and Lower looper 5.5. So it’s no wonder the factory settings never worked and my serging was awful. Everyone’s machine is sooo different! Again thank you! Oh and that all the other tensions are at 3 to start with really makes sense. Yeah!!

i am new to serging and a little intimidated. You have help take away some of that fear. Finding the right tension has always been a mystery to me. Thank you for this video. It was very well done.

You're a genius, I hope you know that! Thank you for this tutorial!

I am your biggest fan now. Thank you

This is an excellent video tutorial

Thanks so much. I have been fighting my overlocker for ages. Your trick is brilliant and I’ll be using it from now on

This is brilliant! Concise and clear instructions with wonderful illustration. Thank you, this has been extremely helpful. I subscribed!

This is excellent! I just purchased a preowned singer profinish and i am still tweeking the tensions. This is a really logical way to get perfect tension for each.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Thanks this is brilliant. I fell out with my server tonight and you helped me fix my tension x

Thanks that's some great advice.... I just picked up a serger Pro .....never sewed in my life... this was an excellent tip and looking forward to watching more videos

Brilliant! Thank you sooooo much! Gonna try this tomorrow!

This is unbelievably helpful thank you so very much!

What a great experiment system! Thank you!!

Thanks for sharing this great method. I’m new to serging and this will help a lot. Awesome tutorial. I hope you make more. Thanks again.

Thank you for this! Straight forward, easy to understand.

Thank you for this tutorial.

Thank you for your video. I think how you did the separate threads each on a sampler was great....trouble is with a serger, we have to change the tension, more often than not, for each type of different fabric we use....but, this is a great way to sort things out, to ensure our tension, and which needle/looper is causing an issue. Thank you very much.

Thank you! Hopefully I can now fix my overlocker.

thank you! this made it so easy !

An excellent tutorial. Thank you so much I did this and it worked. Thanks again.

Thank you I am going to try this.

Hi Dana, thank you so much for the serger tension lesson. My Singer ProFinish was given to me by a dear friend, and I have really struggled with it. Would you consider doing another video, showing how to make something/anything simple? Blessings to you and yours!

Thanks

Tension adjusting is so confusing! Thanks!

Really clever way to set the tension, I'm going to try it today!

Great idea to concentrate on one thread at a time.

wow thank you :)

What number was your differential feed set to and what was your stitch length set to?

This was very helpful. I wish you could hold the camera steadier.

So to tighten its the lowest setting and to loosen its the higher settings? 😮 i thought it was the other way around

What are the side nob settings set too ??? 😱😭

A very useful and well explained video. The sound quality isn't great and filming is jumpy.

What happened to GREEN TENSION?

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Coming back a year later.......not many comments have a reply......🤔

It don't Do t😤

The stitches are too tight and too close

I guess I bought a really old Pfaff 4852 and can’t find a thing other than the useless instructions manual to thread it!!!! Frustrating

1:49 wait! Doesn’t she have this all backwards? Isn’t a higher number mean higher tension? Boooooooo! 🤷‍♀️ 🙂
