Aww that's so nice. Thank you so much. 🧡 Merry Christmas.

You are so welcome! Happy threading! x

You are so welcome! I'm glad I could help in some way. The puckering might just be the differential feed needing adjustment. Different fabrics require different settings. x

No problem at all. And sending healing thoughts to your daughter. I hope she gets better soon.

This comment has made my week. Thank you so much! I'm so happy I could help! X

Yey! How exciting. Have fun with it. x

JantyTopaz Thank you! 😊

I love my serger ....it’s so cool the difference in your clothing

Glad I could help!! Good luck. x

@@Jessalli It helped enormously, even though it's a much older machine the threading was very similar and I actually got it done pretty quickly. Nothing can stop me now 🥳

Thank you so much! And well done you for having a go, it's always scary but I promise the more you do it, the easier it becomes. x

Aww this is so nice. Thank you so much. Totally agree, there's no point in spending all that money and not learn everything about it. I love my overlocker, and once you become friends with it, it's the perfect machine to have. X

Noted. Thanks. x

Aww thank you Jill, glad I could help! x

Aargh, spoke too soon, won’t chain already. I’ll try and message you over the next few days 😢

Oh no! Poor you. It could be a needle needing changing? Try that next time before you re-thread. x

Thank you!! :) x

Christine Crabb thank you so much. 😊 Good luck!

Sorry Marcia! x

Yes thank you Maggie, I've played on a lot of overlockers (some without manuals) and in general I've found as long as you thread right to left, it's normally absolutely fine. But yes, always check the manual first. x

No way!! What a small world! Glad I could help in some way. The more you re-thread it, the more it becomes second nature. x

Thank you x

I'm so glad. Thanks for watching. x

Glad it helped! x

Haha sorry Allyson!! x

Thank you! :) x

Aww glad I could help in some way! x

You are so welcome! x

Glad it helped! That's always the trickiest part haha. x

@@Jessalli Yep and I was trying to do it without clicking the lever that was a nightmare. Thank you again

Hi Allison, I use mine on nearly every project. I use it to finish cushions, on all my clothes and dress making, even to finish edges on framed pieces. It's so useful. But you can get a similar effect by just using a straight stitch and then going over the raw edge with a zigzag stitch on your normal machine. The benefits of an overlocker are; it's more professional, it's super quick, and it cuts and finishes the raw edges for you. Downsides; it's not a good thing to unpick if you make a mistake and you need a lot of thread (although its cheap). Hope that helps!?

Definitely Bree - I'll make that my nest couple videos! :)

You're welcome 😊 x

It depends what I'm making, but normally, yes, I just use my overlocker. x

Thanks. And no I don't but Madalynne Intimates might? X

Can you open up the left side of the machine and look through? If you move your needle up and down you might be able to see another hook from that angle? x

Hope you find it! x

You're welcome! x

You're welcome! x

Might be worth contacting your local servicing agent, they might be able to order the part for you. x

Hi Robin, you can use any needle brand as long as it's the right size and shape, but I always say, go for the highest quality you can afford. x

If you're only using it to finish edges before sewing, don't cut anything off. I personally sew a seam, then use my overlocker to trim and finish it. I also use it to construct all stretch items. x

Did you watch the video until the end? You'll see the threads under the foot and out the back and I show you how to start your chain.

dude watch till the end she clearly does ,,,

Thank you so much! So sorry I thought I had replied to this, I don't but Madalynne might on her channel: kzfaq.info/love/S7YYYQkSqkw9LNP2hWkThg

Always buy overlocker needles as they're a little more sturdy and yes only buy the size your machine recommends. x

It doesn't really matter which way up your cones are. x

You have to buy overlocker needles, your machine manual should tell you the exact size it requires. :)

I use 5000 metre moon thread cones from Coats. 😊

@@Jessalli Thank you so much!!

Aww you're very welcome! x

Yes. x

9/10, I love it but it doesn't have ALL the features of a super expensive model. x

Sorry about that, it’s a pretty old video now. Might re-film it again one day. X

You're welcome!

Yes it slides to the left with a hinge on the back. X

Yes you can. If you put it in the left needle it can help with your seam allowance measuring. x

How exciting! :D x

Janome 6234XL. x

I think Ifound my problem is that my tension setting on the green thread was way higher than the rest, I will see if it works tomorrow. Hopefully, it does!

Oh no! Sounds like something isn’t quite right. Have you checked your tension dials? X

I'm not quite sure what you're asking? Sorry. x

HI Michael, I'm afraid I can't help with this. I can't afford to get every overlocker model and test it.

Hi Brenda, yes some say lower looper before upper. But I have found you can get away with either on a lot of models. x

@@Jessalli Nearly all overlocker manuals, except Janome and, I think, some Frister & Rossmann, say to do the upper looper first. This is nearly always the second from the right. Brenda says hers is like that. Your reply to her says "some say lower looper before upper". It is the other way round. You in your video say lower looper before upper, she is saying the opposite. But I think you are right that it isn't always important, depending on where you take the tails to after threading. If you take them to the back of the foot, the lower looper thread should pass over the upper looper and its thread. This, I believe, is why most manuals specify that order. Far more important, in my experience, is to unthread the needles, or at least cut the threads after the needles and pull new tails out, whenever you rethread a looper. Personally, I find threading the needles hard with my eyesight, so I prefer to pull the thread through the needles with tweezers, then cut it and pull out any existing thread chain.

Mine is a Janome.

being a 35yo man and not one for sewing ever in my life self taught with sewing this vid is very informative and very well explained for a propa dumb ass like me can pick it up easy and i also watched till the end so i seen how to finish the tread off!! lol thanks so much

Aww yey! So glad I could help! Happy serging! x

Hi!

Thank you. Yes I know but every serger is slightly different so I didn't want to be too specific. x

I put close up shots throughout. This was filmed years ago so if I get time I'll do it again in future.

Thank you. I'm sorry I couldn't help further, but I was trying to make a generalised video as every model is completely different. x

Sorry I only have 2 videos at the moment. x

@@Jessalli Well, if the first two videos are anything to go by, you'll have a load more followers in no time! x

Sorry, 'loop de loop', so thread goes back to front through the first hole, then over the top again and back to front through the second hole. X

@@Jessalli thank you so much for being kind enough to get back to me x

Hi karen Williamson what is it you find so terrible?

these computers allow 'the young ones to voice there opinion if you know what I mean, not really terrible atall

Thanks for your kind comments.

@@Jessalli better that you know the truth. How else can you improve?

Well in my personal opinion for a free video that was filmed 3 years ago, I give adequate advice. If you would like a personalised online lesson please do let me know as I run a sewing school and would be happy to do so at a charge of course.

@@Jessalli found a fantastic demo by a guy here on KZfaq which explains everything nicely. Why not take this video down if you can’t take negative comments.
