Thank you! How nice to see someone go right to the point of the matter! With so many rambling KZfaq videos out there, that was refreshing. And thank you for having an extra person to film your step by step instead of trying to hold a camera with one hand lol. Gathering the extra fabric was a huge tip and I feel like I can move on from straight line serging now :-)

This is one of the best technical instructions on how to maneuver those tough areas to serge I've found. Pulling slack on the threads for corners is brilliant and very helpful for home decor. I've have also seen to clip in diagonally 3/8" on an inner corner to make the finished line straighter. Thank you so much for this video. I've been overlocking for 2 decades and I learned several new things!

Thank you for taking the time to make such a wonderful video. I have never been happy with how to start and end overlocking in the round and have always veered off at the end which leaves an uneven, wonky edge. The method demonstrated towards the end of the video is fantastic and so neat!

I thought you did a great job. Easy to understand , you didn't go too fast or too slow. I tried to see if it showed why 7 people gave you a thumbs down because I have no clue why someone would think this video deserved a thumbs down ?!? I did not read down to see if anyone else gave a lot of the credit to your camera person. Did a SUPER Job of keeping the camera focused on what she was focusing on...great teamwork. Another great thing this lady does is as she is talking she is also using her hands and or anything that happens to be in her hands at the time to point out the area of the fabric or the machine that she is talking about so you don't have to guess what she is referring to. Thanks...great job.

It's super hard to hold a video camera steady even with the stabilizer option on. You have to use a tripod. Downside....it really limits the angles you can film without constantly stopping and starting. Then you have to spend a ton of time editing

You may have made this back in 2014 but I'm just catching up with this now. Margaret, this is by far the best lesson I've had on how to handle curves and corners that I've ever had. Never before at lessons I've had have they been so informative. Thank you so much. I needed to know this. I am beginning to realise just how little I do actually know about my overlocker even though I went for lessons. I'm looking forward to learning more.

Wow!With the cutting blade being a centimetre in front of the needles, always battled going around curves and corners, the needles never following in line with the cutter. Now, with finger pleating the fabric to make a straight line, it all makes sense. A very professional video, clear instructions with good visuals and at a perfect pace. Thanks Margaret, hope you do more videos like this.

AMAZING STUNNING FANTASTIC. THANKYOU. So many great tips. Perhaps even on a sewing machine this technique will be helpful. Pleating in curves or at sharp points is an UNBELIEVABLE technique. Oh wow! I didnt wanna blink a second and I just held my breath until you went past that crucial point. MA'AM YOU ARE A BLESSING TO ME. You give me the desire to get to my overlocker. I've got a PFAFF. For BEGINNERS it's great. I am still "fighting" with the UPPER AND LOWER LOOPER TENSION. All your videos are exceptional and very helpful for BEGINNERS. Thanks for sharing and caring.
