Hi Samantha, I just came across your review of my book and I'm so happy that you like the book! Thanks so much for sharing it with the wonderful sewing community. And it's wonderful that you are in Switzerland too!

I've had my overlocker for a few months and i really found you video so useful i always watch you every time i change colour such a brilliant video thank you so much x

Thankyou so much for this very helpful vidio. I would have been lost without it .I will be subscribing to you channel. I look forward to using your othere videos thanks again.

excellent tutorial, very clear.

Great to see you back, Sam and to hear how things have improved for wobbles. I am not surprised your body told you you had carried enough stress and forced you to slow down. It's amazing how people feel it is acceptable to pass judgement on your decisions regarding your decisions regarding your pets. It is not like people make their decisions lightly and without due consideration of all their options. I know I have had a friend who I thought was crazy to make the decision she did regarding her dog (no, not you Sam) but I asked some questions regarding her options and then kept my opinion to myself, it was never mentioned again, I simply supported her in her decision. How are your parents doing after their car crash?

Great to see you back and your new London programme sounds very exciting.

How dare anyone tell you how to care for your dogs! That's not something anyone else can really know enough about to judge! Anyway, glad to see the potatoes doing well. LOL, I love a good dog snore. I'm starting to get my sewjo back and am working on a denim york pinafore. And we've got a new to us irish water spaniel named Chuck. He is a little over a year, so very much a big puppy. Hugs! Hope you start feeling better.

So good to see you and get an update on those precious dogs of yours. Anyone who has had pets they loved to bits and the pet or pets were there with them when times were unpleasant or sad know heartbreak when they're not well. There's a certain kind of love we have for our beloved pets that surpasses or is different from the kind of love we share with humans. Pets are not judgemental or cruel, and they're good listeners! LOL I had a Himalayan cat and he was unlike any cat I ever had. I still miss him. And my dachshund , well, again, he was there when times were rough. He was so special. The vet was useless. I miss him too. I certainly know where you're coming from Sam, and I wish you all the best. The best of health to you and precious team potatoes! xx

Great to see you back and all my love to the potatoes!!!🎉🎉🎉

Thanks for the update, we've missed you. With regards to how you're handling the health issues of your "potatoes", ultimately, you are the one making the decisions. So often pet owners simply can't afford to go the distance with treatments and get their animals through to the other side. Those are tough decisions and I think a compensating mechanism to just think it's better to not put them through it so we feel less guilty about not being able to afford health care that could save them. I think that we get so much more from them than we ever give them, so if you can, spend the money and go the distance. Hope you have a great Christmas season and better new year!

Thank you so much

Thank you

Greetings and kindest regards from the United States. I will be sewing a dress for my wife, N6776 as mentioned in your video. I am having a bit of trouble understanding how the neck lines are sewn, do you have an example of how to sew this on your channel? If not it is no problem at all, I humbly appreciate your help.

Hi could you please tell us how to change the needle thank you

Thank you so much

Thank you thank you thank you sending you kisses from UK I’ve been trying to thread my machines all day!!!!!!! I’m so excited I’ve got it

Thank you ❤

It was my first time using an overlocker. With your tutorial I was up and running with no problems making pyjama bottoms! Thank you for the clear instructions and excellent camera work.

Don’t let that awful lorry driver get you down Sam. He’s not worth it. Totally understand your raw grief and worry about your beloved potato. She sounds gorgeous xx you are having such a stressful time with everything. Sometimes we have to take some time for ourselves and step back. Big hugs to you xx

I just picked up N6777 last week at Joann's, with a nice black crepe fabric & invisible zipper. It is a dupe for V9705. I will see how accessible the zipper is! I do teach yoga and have quite flexible shoulders/arms, so I can reach up to the base of my neck with my hands. However most people can't do that...

I am glad you are addressing this issue. When I first saw this pattern, I thought “This is NOT for me!”

Sounds challenging! But I see your struggles! Our 25 year old son who lived in Switzerland for three years, went to recap last week. Other than this summer was very relaxing. And in terms of cars: both our cars broke down. One has to stay optimistic or at least keep your Humor!

OMG, Sam, I can't believe how terrible a time you are having. That incident with the lorry sounds particularly awful and scary beyond belief. I was saying at dinner tonight that, except for updating my FaceBook group, i have not been online for over 3 weeks, maybe longer. Seeing you smiling face when I opend up RUclips was a real lift but, boy-oh-boy have you had a load on your plate. I am glad Wobbles has pulled through, it must have been so heart wrenching for you all with her away from home. I do feel for you and send you hugs. Best of luck for the future.

Hugs. So sorry about Wobbles, and your Mom. You've had an awful summer. It's amazing how our puppers effect every inch of our lives. We lost Sage, our Irish Water Spaniel, in July. He was 14 which is methusala for a water spaniel, but it was still unexpected. I'm not doing great but not terrible either. I hadn't even realized how much he grounded me. The good news is we have found a 1 year old Water Spaniel that we will be getting in September. He is in Ontario Canada and I'm in minnesota, so we are still trying to figure out transportation. Hope things get better for you!

Awe, my heart goes out to you. What an absolutely dreadful time you have had of it. I'm so glad you are coming out at the other end of it. ❤❤❤

What a dreadful time you have been through, I do hope that you overcome all of the dreadful occurrences soon. Poor Wobbles,our dogs are like our children and we love them so much. Who would have thought that a tic bite could do so much harm.I do hope that your mum is recovering well. All good wishes to you and to your family.💖💖💖

Just❤❤❤

So helpful thank you! Used this to thread my new overlocker for the first time

Excellent. Thank you so much ❤

Would there be any possibility of a sew along to the simply sewing pattern called the Mayfair dress please? X

Love the way we meet up throughout stages of the sew x so clear and helpful x

It's mind-blowing to me to think about how fast sewing machines are. I've never owned one and stitch all of my projects by hand. I'm hoping to get something soon, it's just incredible how fast they can go.

Thank you so much for this video. Saved me a huge amount of stress today❤

Should the lower looper thread be resting over the upper looper arm? When you thread the lower looper you don't do this but at the end of that section it's above the arm, as it is when the upper looper threading begins. It's confusing.

This is the best tutorial for my Brother overlocker. You show every step so clearly. I had been doing it wrong after following another one.

THANK YOU!!! YOU SAVED MY LIFE 😂 So cute listening to your dog sleeping 😊❤

I just got the exact same overlocker and used your tutorial to thread and used the machine for the first time. So helpful, thank you! Completely new to the overlocker world and started watching a few videos, yours was the most direct and to the point, with helpful information - thank you!

I love the Reynolds pattern but as a dress very bra friendly, my favourite bra friendly cami top is sew house seven sauvie sundress shortened to a top

I just used your tutorial to thread my machine and it works perfectly. The only issues I keep having is that my machine isn’t cutting away the excess fabric so sometimes it gets stuck with the machine🥲 Do you know how I can fix this?

I like the Bellbird shorts from Common Stitch Patterns. They have pockets and are like elevated boxer shorts made from woven fabric, although at the moment I am trying to make them from stretch fabric.

Yes I too did the cargo pants in the 90s/00s, and I'm not afraid to say I won't be going back there! 😆

Thanks for the recommendations. I love a free pattern 😊 I have tried 3 patterns from the Tiana’s Closet website. I made size 3XL each time and all of them turned out really well and the fit has been good. The instructions are very basic but if you have some experience then it isn’t too much of a problem.

Oh boy, what a lot of ground those garments cross: from slinky, bias cut, cowl neck, figure hugging mini dresses; to long, elegant, embellished capes and then onto cargo pants! Phew. I must admit I do love me a cowl neck dress or top and I am rather in love with the concept of any cape. I had a cape as a little girl and I don't think have ever got over the love of capes. I loath cargo pants - not sure why but I really do not like them. Like you I have a dedicated sewing space and unfortunately no matter how much I try, I am just not able to keep it tidy. I would like to blame my kids or hubby but unfortunately, there is no one to blame but myself. I was surprised to hear you say how tired you are as I had been sitting there thinking how much better you are looking these days. I thought that perhaps with Spuds cancer being gone perhaps you might be getting a bit more rest. Sorry you are still feeling tired :(

Love the cape dresses!!

Thank you for this wonderful video! So helpful! And encouraging! And I love your communication style too. Thank you ❤

Thank you so much for this video tutorial, I found it very helpful. You mentioned you had a video about hemming which I always struggle with but I can't immediately see it, could you point me in the right direction please.

Absolutely loving your choices in this video, Sam. I have never heard of Tint of Pepperming Patterns but I like that dress so I will go ha e a look at them after this. A rugby shirt tied in a knot worn to a night club - yep, that shows your age. 🤣😆🤣😆🤣

I sympathise with you about the heat. I don't do well in it either! It gets pretty hot where I live in France so I just close the shutters and sit indoors but it isn't much fun. One of my favourite summer patterns is the Grainline Scout Tee. I know it is very simple but made in a lovely fabric it can look really nice. I also wear a lot of Indian block print fabric as it is so light and floaty.

Just got my first overlocker. Your tutorial was excellent, great pace and made it so easy. I’d read the manual but it was a bit daunting. Thought I’d have a look online before trying the dvd that came with the machine. I’m so glad I did. Many thanks!

Great news so glad she is cleared!!
