Thank you for the comment about adding to the side piece at the underarm area. I think that will help those who have problems with shoulder straps that slip down.

I noticed your Singer Serger doesn’t seem to have a seam guide. I have the Stylist Singer model and it doesn’t have one either. It really really irks me, as it seems like a very basic tool. Do you know why our models don’t have one? Have you just drawn markers on the looper cover to use as guides? I find it insufficient bc it’s too far away to be accurate.

Wow! Had a problem with the fabric bunching up after the needle and I don’t have much experience with a serger. Mine is an older model than yours. It was the bottom knife that was too low! I raised it and it fixed the problem! Thank you for mentioning this!

These arw valid points. I'm happy I heard this. I also really consider this when buying one. Just one question if you are using your cutting table for work and also sewing, do I need to recalibrate each time the cutting board moves?

You have do hangups, don't you. Did you not get classes with your machine? They would have solved many of your problems. Of course, teaching your children not to touch helps a lot as does a drop of fraycheck.

I know this video is 2 years old, but hoping you see my comment. When it comes to the root, and buying bras vs. making them, is there guide or way to know whether you have tall roots, short roots, wide roots, etc? There is information in a subreddit I'm in as far as what bras work for which root sizes, but I have no idea how to figure that out. Lol.
@seasonallyproductiveАй бұрын
Hey! So, short answer, no. If I'm following to question right, store bought bras don't use the same size range as we home sewists do. They often have a small range of wires they use for all the bras. Something you could potentially do is measure your own root and purchase a wire to match and then take it shopping with you to compare. I'm not sure how well that would work, but it might give a better idea.

What is the standard numbers for a 3 thread serger. I keep getting large loops
@seasonallyproductive3 ай бұрын
I don't know that there is a standard. It will depend on the machine itself, as well as the fabric being used. I would check that the tension discs are completely clean (I use floss) and that the threads are sitting properly between the discs. Then I would test several times, making adjustments to one dial at a time until I get the desired outcome.
@shamaysrayl41263 ай бұрын
What about if your thread keeps coming out the left needle 😂 I’ll thread it and pull the read to the back so I know it’s threaded but some how I’ll check the chain and the left needle thread is no longer there

I'm not sure if you still have this CS combo. I have two Pfaff sewing machines and a Pfaff serger, but my CS is a Janome Coverpro CPX2000 that I don't love, but don't hate. I've barely used it since I bought it with greater garment-making intentions, but life intervened. Now I'm saving to get a Babylock eventually. However, I can suggest that your machine may need a good cleaning and oiling if it's jumping around a lot. My Pfaff serger was doing something similar when I took it to a class and the instructor (who's a good friend a a great technician too) said I just needed to give it a spa day. I used to work on vintage machines a lot and I buy parts from her shop, so she wasn't trying to make me bring it in for a service that it didn't need. It really helped, some machines are thirstier than others and a little fluff can throw the balance off easily too.

That top dial that you didn’t know is the “pressure regulating thumb screw” according to the manual I found. Turning it right is more tension and changes the amount of pressure on the material. I haven’t figured out what the handle does

The best advice i can give as a seamstress is before you thread your machine, just run it and watch what it does. Do this with all your machines. I learned so much about industrial machines, in the beginning by just watching the bobbin and needle interact. When i got my serger I did the same thing, just watched it run for a bit, then when i threaded it, I would turn the hand wheel to see what that thread was doing and where it was going. You might need to take some pieces off to see it all, but thats also good to do, being able to fix your machine when shes acting up is priceless. I've taken apart so many sewing machines at this point I'm pretty comfortable fixing just about any issues that crop up now. When you're ready get some scrap fabric and test all the settings on the machine, its the best way to know how things are going to work with different types of fabric.
@seasonallyproductive3 ай бұрын
That's great advise! So much simpler if we can learn to do maintenance ourselves. And the basic mechanics of sewing machines really isn't all that complicated
@felinehermetica3 ай бұрын
It’s really rewarding too. 😊 They are very basic and anyone can do it! I just about cried when I realized there are no sewing machine repair shops around me. I had no choice, if I wanted to sew, I had to figure it out! 😵💫

@seasonallyproductive4 ай бұрын
I don't know, however, my guess would be that a lot of computerized machines would have a preventative rest function. I did end up learning that this machine does not like the metal bobbins. Apparently it interferes with the computerization enough to trigger the rest function more frequently. I've had much less issue now that I only use the recommended plastic ones

@seasonallyproductive4 ай бұрын
I'm not sure I'm fully understanding the question. In terms of seam allowance, most sergers allow for a 1/4" without trimming the fabric. If your pattern calls for more than that, you will need to be trimming the fabric with the knives as you go. Hope that helps!

This has happened to me before. Usually it's because the front knife has been pushed down or isn't in the correct position. It's an easy adjustment. There may be a small marking on the knife to show where to align it.

My story: bought a Janome 8900 because I was dazzled by the throat space (11") as I was doing mostly quilts at the time. It has 285 stitches and 3 alphabets! Whee! Fast forward 10 years. I still love the machine, it's wonderful to use and so easy. How many stitches do I use? The same 3 all the time. I love the threader but the cutter is a little overrated. Leaves nests underneath. I've learned to pull the bobbin thread up - nicer results (esp in quilts). However, after having the machine 8.5 years, the motherboard went. Where I bought it (an hour drive away) was nice enough to sell me the part at cost but I had to pay for the labour: $700 Canadian total. I was tempted to dump the machine and just buy a semi-industrial straight stitch with the money (like a Brother 1500 or a Juki 2010). It's all fixed, so I'll roll with that for now. Would I buy another computerized? No. Over the years, I've, ahem, collected several mechanical machines from the 70s and older. There's a zen to sewing with them. I also know that they should last a long, long time. I sew a lot of garments now and the old machines do just fine. If the 8900 goes on the fritz again, I'll see what's out there that doesn't have a computer.

Thank you for sharing 🙂 I enjoy reading about others' experiences. It's such a hard choice when things like that happen! I also have "extra" machined that are much simpler and I can do a lot of maintenance on myself. For me, with the cost of repairs, etc, it really makes more sense to have a mechanical machine. I have come to like using this one, but it has also made me realize it's not something I'd buy again.
