Thank you. I got the bit a about sewing up to the knife, cutting the threads but didn't think to spin my fabric around to get off it. Thanks.

As you don't actually need to cut anything off the edge, is there any reason why we shouldn't disengage the knife from the start, and just snip the chain off with scissors before we get back around to it? The first time I tried this, I stopped my overlocker as soon as the chain came off, but a few stitches at the edge had already been cut. 😪

You can do that if you are really accurate at lining up your fabric at the correct point. Otherwise your looper stitches can be really loopy if the edge of fabric is too close to the needle or the edge of your fabric can fold/curl under the looper stitches. But you definitely do it if you're accurate. The alternative is to remove your knife just a little bit before you get to the chain and cut the chain with scissors. Hope this helps. Alison xx

..... not truly Round, just a long shallow curve. What about Inside circles.......2"-6" diameter?

@loveandstitchesstudio 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Reny, You are correct in this video I don't demonsrate overlocking circles or curves, it is actually a straight line made into a tube/loop/in the round. Inside circles can be tricky especially as small as 2". I do have a video in my Membership Club on Patreon on Overlocking Corners & Curves. You can sign up using this link: bit.ly/LearntoSewMembershipClub and watch that video tutorial and more if you are a Linen or Silk tier member. Alison xx
