Wow, what an incredibly thorough and helpful video! I’ve just finally set up my new 1034d serger and this is exactly the level of detail I appreciate in a tutorial: the different perspectives, the attention to machine markings and the pressing techniques- 🙌🏼🙌🏼 I’ve immediately subscribed. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing these very clear , detailed and practical serger hemming instructions. I’ve owned different serger machines for dozens of years, but didn’t realize how easy and efficient you could hem with them ( YES practice with scraps ). Hate double needles, and ended up buying a dedicated Cover Stitch machine for knits. Tip : a combo serger / cover stitch machine can be endlessly Frustrating to rethread ! (My early days Pfaff Coverlock 4852 was an expensive headache).
Thank you for the comments! I also prefer dedicated machines for serger and coverstitch - with the combo models it's very inconvenient to go back and forth between serging and coverstitch.
Purchased a Bernina L890 serger a year ago, felt totally intimidated, and have been searching for a video such as this since then. This is most helpful! THANKS!
Şok very very thanks👏💐 Türkiye den selamlar anlatımınz öğretmeniz harika bizi bilgilendirmeye devam edin kanalınızın büyümesi temennisiyle💐dil seçeneklerinin çokluğu mükemmel bravo 💐🤚

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.
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 no, no second hand options because i live in a remote area. Coverstitch are generally only owned by folks who do commercial sewing. They sell for $1800-3500 here. Thanks, Ive used an overlocker for 25 years and know the options
@cassieoz1702 Hello from Holland! Maybe Amazon refurbished are cheaper. Like all electric modern tools, nice to have but not essential to make beautiful clothes. Nowadays, there are stretch threads in all colours. 2 parallel rows of 3.5 straight stitch (no special stitch for knits needed: I tested and no popped seams) replicate the coverstitch on the outside. Since knits don't fray, no serging really needed. Sew one row close to the top edge of the hem if need be. With twin needles, lower the tension if necessary to avoid tunneling.
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.
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?

Thank you, Thank you 😊
Thank you for detailed explanation, very helpful :)
Fantastic video, very clearly presented, I learned a lot. Very well done, just the type of information I was looking for, thank you!

This is the first time watching any of your videos. I thank you for providing clear and concise instructions.
Glad it was helpful!
I have for many years already an airjet Imagine serger from Babylock and Janome 2000 cover stitch. Both easy to thread and use.
Very nice! Thanks for the tips. 💖😄
Omg thanks a very good video. I have been looking for a video like this for a very long time thanks
Glad you liked it!

Omg…thank you! This is so to the point and easy to follow….now to see if my serger has cover stitch capability…🤣
Thank you! Hoping your serger has coverstitch!
I didn't know you could do that with a surger. Thanks ❤
Hi I love 💕 all your recipes because I 💕 vegetables…. Thank you 🙏
maybe the best video I have seen for knits...
Thank you very much!

Saved !
How about how to hem on a smooth fleece zippered jacket at the arms that was ready made. Can it still be done?? The sleeves are too long on me.

How to hem short band
I'm sorry, I don't follow. Could you give a few more details?
Coverstitch machines are insanely expensive here for a single-function machine

@cassieoz1702 Those are professional I suppose. You can buy a new one for about 700 USD.
@avdm196 yes, they seem to range from AUD$950-2500 here.
