Very helpful, thank you. My sewing machine has an overcasting stitch so I think I'll use this for now and manually trim off the excess fabric and save up to buy a Serger. Many thanks x

hello i’ve been beginning to upcycle clothes and want to start making my own pants. i have a beginner machine but want to upgrade something that will be able to handle heavier denims and leather. if you have a suggestion on a machine and serger/coverstitch i would be very happy to hear thank you

@Lilahsfig 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you 🙏🏼 I was looking to buy a serger or a cover stitch! Now I know one of my machines does what a cover stitch does, so thank goodness for your video !! I’m saving the money 💴 so now the question is domestic or industrial?! Lol I have all industrial but want to get the hang of how to use it on domestic.

@seasonallyproductive 2 жыл бұрын

Ooh great question. If you use it a ton and/or for business, I think I'd recommend industrial if budget is healthy

I also was not aware. My wife is a new quilter. I purchased her a Juki MO-654DE serger. I am now not sure if I purchased her the correct machine as it is a surprise gift. I quess getting her a cover stitch machine would be pretty cool as well. Lol

@seasonallyproductive 2 жыл бұрын

Quilters mainly use straight stitch machines. But maybe she'll find use for that serger

Great video! Do you have a video on blind stitch machines? I'm purchasing a Wilcox&Gibbs industrial serger in a table and a Colombia Union blind stitch industrial machine in a table. Don't know how to use a blind stitch machine, but couldn't turn down the price lol I want to know if I'm going to keep it or resell it.

@seasonallyproductive 2 жыл бұрын

No, sorry, I don't. I do have a video on a domestic machine. I rarely use blind stitch so it's not something I myself would purchase

This is exactly what I'm looking for. If I'm not planning to use a pot of knits, I should invest in a cross stitch?

@seasonallyproductive 3 жыл бұрын

I wouldn't recommend buying a new machine yet. Work with your regular sewing machine and stretch stitches and see how you like it. If you find yourself yearning for a serger then start with that. Coverstitch is something you would get even further down the road. I also have this video that might be helpful kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdZ1qZaW38fbgaM.html

@tarajackson5628 3 жыл бұрын

As someone who is looking to start their own brand, do you recommend purchasing a overlocker which can also coverstitch?

@seasonallyproductive 3 жыл бұрын

I don't use my combo machine for both - I have 2 separate machines- so I don't need to switch back and forth. I would start with the serger and eventually get a CS as well. Time is money

I am so confused on which one to get (my fault, not yours lol) I sew A LOT of clothing for my children that will be passed down through the younger ones. Would a serger be best for that? Or can I get away with a coverstitch?

@seasonallyproductive 3 жыл бұрын

Definitely a serger. It is the machine that will seam the clothing together. This video might help a bit more too kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdZ1qZaW38fbgaM.html

I am a 4th generation seamstress and my kids are the 5th. You do not need a cover stitch machine. I has never even heard of them until my mom brought one. She never uses it. Our sergers have more miles than our sewing machines. They make clothes look professional and give great strength to the seams.

@yorkshirehousewife784 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Rachel, Generally a coverstitch like the Pfaff 3.0 coverlocker that is shown in this video, is an overlocker (serger) and a cover stitcher in one machine. The blade folds down and a different cover is put on where the blade channel is. which turns it into a coverstitch. The coverlocker because its an allrounder is a lot more expensive than an overlocker. That been said they can do more stitches this one does 23 different stitches and you can buy extra accessories to do other things such as a belt looper etc.. Personally. I have the Same Coverlocker as shown here the Pfaff 3.0. I prefer it to the Overlockers (sergers) I've used in the past such as the Singer heavy duty serger because... I'm a slow sewer and this machine is soooo smooth and also the speed can be adjusted to suit everyone. It is so easy to turn corners and go round circles. to hem clothes on the coverstitch, you really don't need the free arm you simply turn your garment inside out and feed through more slowly. Because of the speed control even a beginner can use this machine and get great results. I hope this helps

I'm confused. I bought a machine second hand that I thought was a serger. It makes chains but it doesn't cut. Could it be that the blade is missing? Edit: Never mind! I found the blades. The top one had been moved out of the way 😅 Going to replace them anyway as the machine is at least 20 yrs old so I imagine the blades are dull

@seasonallyproductive Жыл бұрын

They can also be sharpened 🙂

what is the different between overlock vs flatlock stitch?

@seasonallyproductive Жыл бұрын

Overlock is 2 or 3 parallel rows of topstitching on one side with a chain (similar to a serger chain) on the other side. Flatlock, to my knowledge, has the serger-type chain on both sides
