Greetings from France 😀💓. I came upon your video and decided to watch it. A big wowwwzy 🌹 Congratulations 🏆🏆🏆. YOURS IS THE BEST VIDEO I'VE WATCHED and I learnt so much from you in less than 15 minutes. I am a total BEGINNER. I've had my Serger since December 2019 and a bit terrified to change the cones. I don't Sew or Serge much as I am crocheting a 2.50m X 2.00m blanket. Maybe I should try these Serger tips today before I change my mind. Thanks a million for sharing caring and making me smile. Have a great day 👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹💓💓💓💐💐💐
You are a very good teacher. I understood all that you spoke about without being bored with overkill. Straight to the point, clear and concise. Thank you so much. :)
My Janome Magnolia model #7034D now has the most beautifully balanced stitch since I followed your tutorials. I cleaned and oiled my serger after removing thread, needles, presser foot and put in fresh needles, rethreaded with quality thread, and moved the knife position for sewing project using the 5/8" seam allowance guide. Works like a dream! I can thread that baby up from scratch in less then 5 minutes now. So happy.😄 ⚠️IMPORTANT‼️⚠️ I recommend placing piece of paper over needle plate when changing needles so needles can't accidentally fall down hole and get lost forever in the belly of your machine. Retighten screws on needle bar b/c vibration can loosen screws and they can become buried 4-ever in your machine. This tip from a seasoned serger expert I found on a blog, and it cost her a bundle to have her beloved serger serviced. I NEVER forgot what she wrote, and neither should YOU, fellow sewing enthusiasts! Happy serging😊!
This is the best tutorial ever. I feel I know my overlocker now and I am viewing it as a friend not a fiend! Thank you so much. Looking forward to 103.
sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot the password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me
@Jack Bodhi thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
I just found you tonight and I'm so happy. I just finished watching 101 and feel like I've been to the best class ever on threading my Janome Overlock 234D. Thank you, thank you. I just read that 103 is out or will be this week - gotta go look for it. Pat
Just got this serger secondhand and would love any more tutorials you have! These have been invaluable for a beginner serger user (serger-er?🤣) like me
I have a really old New Home serger (still works perfectly) and although much of it looks exactly like the one you are using, mine does not have a knife that has a knob to adjust the width of the cut. Occasionally, I have noticed "tunnelling", depending on the fabric used. So I am wondering, would adjusting the upper and lower looper tension slightly enable me to correct this. I am learning so much from your tutorials and go back to them again and again for reference. Please could you show how to change the knives - for when they get blunt.. How to gather using the serger was brilliant. Thank you.
Great video, especially explaining the changes that the knife adjustment makes. When you showed the four stitch lengths, you need to correct the last sample stated stitch length of 1, you meant to say 2. (@ minute marker 3.01). Also I was looking forward to seeing the decorative 'ribbon' effect on the front of a garment you made, but didn’t see it. But all in all a very helpful video.
Your instructions on threading, blind hem and rolled hem are brilliant. Do you cover picot edging? My machine is the My Lock 204D which seems to be identical to the one you use, but I suspect mine is an older model.
WOW! Thanks! I learned how to correct a problem I was having with the loops overhanging the edge by adjusting the knife! Mystery solved. Very good video instructions!
I like the gathering technique, that's a new one, and will save me so much time. Do you happen to have a video on how to use specialty feet like ruffle feet? I make a lot of ruffles and I just can't quite figure out the ratio. I would love to be able to use it.
Saw your question and as one who uses a Janome serger, with the STANDARD FOOT, you can make tons of ruffles in seconds. Here are the settings: Right and Left Needles: Turn tension disk dials to 9 Upper and Lower Loopers: Tension disk dials on 3 Differential Feed: 2.5 Stitch Length: 4 Hope this helps! Practice on scraps of fabric you plan to use for your ruffles. Adjust needles to lower number to decrease gathers. Remember to put all settings back to 3 when completed for “normal settings” positions.🧵😊🥳Serger party, baby!!!
Totally totally Amazing thank you so much my overlock machine is just the same as the one that you use in you Brilliant tutorials I will have too watch this time and time again so I get it worked out the very same way that you do thank you once again (smiles)
Oh thank you. I for the first time bouth overlook. Nice like new, used one but without maual, and I just now how to use I it. How to change stiches, for what that weels on side. My weel for knife is out side od mashine on the same pleace on left. So I long time didn't know what to do with all that butons ( wheels) on my mashine. 😂 Thank you. I will follow you. Because you are the Best!
This is amazing , thank you for sharing your knowledge about sergers. I bought my Janome serger from the shopping channel in Canada and with your tutorials have so much understanding on how to use it and thread it!!! Would it be possible to purchase your tutorials that you have for you customers? Sincere thanks 🙏
I have a Janome serger similar to the one used in your tutorial. Do I have to remove the left needle and stitch finger to serge a rolled hem? Thanks in advance for your reply.
Yes, you do need to remove the left needle to do a rolled hem. If your model is similar to the one above, you do not have to be concerned with the stitch finger. However, all machines are different and you will need to consult your manual on whether the stitch finger will need to be removed. Hth.
Pocono Sew & Vac Thank you! My manual does not indicate removing stitch finger, but other videos on RUclips said to. Since you gave correct threading instructions (as opposed to those in my manual), I thought perhaps they missed this step.LOL! Good to know I only need to remove left needle!😊Thanks so much for the quick response. Since I used YOUR threading instructions instead of those in my Janome manual, I have had beautiful success! You're my hero!!🏆👍🏽👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💖❤️💙💜💗💝💚💛
Most have a regular bulb that can be swapped out with a brighter, whiter LED bulb. We have replaced the standard bulb with an LED on the machine used in the video.

That was most informative, thank you. You were really clear for a new sewer like me!

Thank you, Pat. Simple Serging 103 is currently being edited and should be out by the end of the week. It's a good one!
Wonderful! I've had my serger for over 20 years, but never knew this stuff! Thanks!
Just got this serger secondhand and would love any more tutorials you have! These have been invaluable for a beginner serger user (serger-er?🤣) like me
Great detail in explaining your product.
That was super helpful - thank you. Just back on my overlocker after several years of leaving it to gather dust!
I really appreciate your tutorials. Awesome camera work and attention to the details for us beginners. Many, many thanks!
Yes, try. And she is explaining nice, without to much talk for nothing, like other womans.

Kindly tell more on the tension setting for a type of fabric
Another helpful video
Cheers
Sew well explained. Thank you. Will try all of this. New to overlocking
You make this very easy to grasp. Thank you!

What settings would you use for the four thread over lock do use on the burrito method for pillowcases? 😊 😊 😊 😊
Totally totally Amazing thank you so much my overlock machine is just the same as the one that you use in you Brilliant tutorials I will have too watch this time and time again so I get it worked out the very same way that you do thank you once again (smiles)
Glad it helps. Simple Serging 103 will be on our RUclips channel next week.

This is amazing , thank you for sharing your knowledge about sergers. I bought my Janome serger from the shopping channel in Canada and with your tutorials have so much understanding on how to use it and thread it!!! Would it be possible to purchase your tutorials that you have for you customers? Sincere thanks 🙏
Are there going to be more tutorials in this particular machine ?
How do I make a wider stitch in this machine? I need a 1cm stitch
This was a very helpful video. Thank you!
You're welcome!

Do you have serger classes
Really helpful. Thank you.
Thank you!!! Great video!
I can’t get the
Needles to hold in my machine. I took thevright one out to do three thread serving and can’t get the right needle to hold in place
Do the Janome sergers have an LED bulb or a regular bulb? Thank you.
Most have a regular bulb that can be swapped out with a brighter, whiter LED bulb. We have replaced the standard bulb with an LED on the machine used in the video.
Great idea, thank you.
Would that work on the armhole gathering?
Yes, but be mindful of your seam allowance.
This is great thanks again!!!!!!
