    @wildphoenix7861 25 дней назад

    Thank you for the tips, for sure. I would have liked to "like" the video, except, #1: the video itself is a little too fast, #2: the narrating is also fast; #3: the music is simply too loud and competing with your voice. Now, I know I can slow down the speed myself - so I have a solution there... but lowering the volume prevents hearing your instructions. However, I will work with it for now by pausing and restarting. Thank you again.

    • @LineOfSelvage
      @LineOfSelvage 24 дня назад

      Sorry you find the music a bit overwhelming! I will work to mute the music track a bit more in upcoming videos. The video does have an English-language subtitle track that tracks the spoken word near 100%; perhaps that would be a solution for you?

    Do you recommend this machine?

    • @LineOfSelvage
      @LineOfSelvage 2 месяца назад

      That's a very interesting question. It's a capable dedicated coverstitch machine that's available at a very good price compared to other machines on the market, though it doesn't have as many stitches as the higher-priced models. I'm very satisfied with the quality of the stitching it can make. Where it is really lacking (and is the reason I made this video in the first place) is user-friendliness. On the plus side it's very easy to thread, especially compared to most sergers. But it's very difficult to manage the threads getting your project in and out of the machine, and you can damage your project if you are not careful. I had to consult online tutorials to learn the right way to do this (the official manual is not helpful) and those tutorials are themselves a bit complicated. If you're looking for a good basic coverstitch machine and you're willing to deal with the procedures I cover in this video, then yes, go for it. If you're not mechanically/technically inclined, I'd say look elsewhere.

    Hi. I would like to know that was a sleeve you were doing.? is that the same way you would do a crouch, lengthening and shorting? Or is it difference when you length and shortening a crotch length?

    • @LineOfSelvage
      @LineOfSelvage 4 месяца назад

      Yes, the example in the video is a sleeve, from a hooded sweatshirt. To lengthen the rise of a pant, look for a lengthen/shorten line on the pattern midway between the waistline and the crotch point. If the pattern doesn't have one, pick a point midway between waistline and crotch point that interferes as little as possible with other features such as zippers and pocket openings. Don't forget to lengthen both the front and back pieces!

      @LineOfSelvage 6 месяцев назад

      Can you find one for less on the used marketplace? In my in-person serger classes, people ask me if I will teach coverstitch, so in my opinion no video on hemming with the serger is complete without it. But in this video I also wanted to show that even if all you have is a basic serger, you still have alternatives. (Most of the demos in this video were done on the Brother 1034D, an entry-level serger).

      @LineOfSelvage 6 месяцев назад

      Thank you! My studio space occupies a long but narrow portion of my home garage. There's a photo of it on my Instagram, if you're interested (@lineofselvage). The space is not photogenic at all, and when filming I try to arrange the camera angles to show as little of it as possible! But in short there's a small table just for the sewing machine, where I swap in whatever machine I'm using at the moment, a folding cutting table that is usually two-thirds open, but I can wheel it out to open all the way when necessary, and finally an industrial sewing machine with its associated worktable. Nearby I also set up a folding table just to hold things while I work, and there are IKEA pegboards on the walls to hold tools such as scissors and rulers. In another corner of the garage is the ironing station, with ironing board along with a gravity-feed iron. It gets VERY crowded during filming with the video tripods and extra lighting equipment! The cutting table has a mount arm with a GoPro situated over the cutting surface, that I used to produce the time-lapse assembly sequence you see in this video.

    • @LineOfSelvage
      @LineOfSelvage 6 месяцев назад

      You mean there's a zippered vent at the sleeve opening? Answer is likely yes, but it would involve a bit of surgery to shorten the zippers, and to rehem/refinish the sleeve with that zipper almost certainly cannot be done with a serger.

    I have a Juki serger. I use the flat lock stitch occasionally to provide an accent on pillow cases between the cuff and body. I’ve had success with using two threads in one needle. It makes the “ladders” nice and thick when the stitch length is fairly short. I’ve used identical colors, similar colors, and even different colors to give a variegated effect. I typically use a wide flat lock for such an application.

      There's very little you can do on a serger that you can't do with a conventional machine, but in this case the flatlock will give you a cleaner and more professional-looking result.
