I am so happy with this video because...i have this foot, never used it, glad i bought it a little after covid, its an expensive foot, but that never stops me, i have faith that good comes with trust. Thank you so much, you are such a great great ambassador for Bernina! I am glad i got to meet you in Mifflinburg for a class. And it was a large class.
Loving your videos, just catching up now and put reminder in diary. I am from UK 🇬🇧. Just bought the Gloria (AKA as Triumph) and the new table and double fold binder. So looking through your videos to lean and again confidence.
HI Sandra, There are lots of Serger Tip Clips about the Triumph, but if you have questions, I'll be very happy to help you. Congratulations on your Gloria-that's very exciting! Thanks for contacting me.
Hi from a small town in Southern Alberta, Canada - will watch this tomorrow as missed today. I have watched several of your 890 Serger "how to's". Your instructions are excellent.
Hi Rejean, I was in Quebec City for a family get together just in time to watch the bike race in person. Love that city-so beautiful. Thanks for watching!
Hi, Glad you found my videos. Please feel free to send along any questions you have and I'll be very happy to help you. What serger do you own? Thanks!
Hi Gail question do you show any videos on how to use the floating stitches on the Paff Icon? I am trying to learn and thank you for all you do:) I wish you would come back to Oregon and give us another lesson or two:)
I've never stitched on the Pfaff Icon, so unfortunately can't help you. Katrina Walker is a Pfaff expert and lives in Washington State. I don't have her email address, but you can send her a message through Instagram. She can either help you or direct you to the right person. Good luck and if you don't connect with her, let me know and I'll find out how to contact her. (She's very nice and knowledgeable.) Thanks!
Thank you for this new series! Your videos and techniques are always so useful. I continue to use your method for finishing overlock stitch ends by pulling on the needle thread, if that makes sense. I think I saw it in your holiday placemat project a few years ago. I tried this with no success. I used 8 wt Razzle in LL and Serracor in needle with C17. 100% nylon cord. The problem I had was the LL Razzle thread kept piling up against the C17 creating a really thick snarl. My serger is the L890 and I used the settings you recommended. What might have caused this? Thank you.
Hi Suzanne, the pile up of thread on the stitch finger can have several causes. Always hold onto your thread tails before the needle hits the fabric. And lengthen your stitch -just 1 or 2 ticks at a time and see if it helps. 8-wt. thread needs “help” to get going on fabric due to its thickness. I also hold the starting edge fabric corners to help it advance under the foot as it approaches the needle. And don’t try to chain off with 8 wt thread. Just stop stitching at the end of the fabric edge, raise the foot and pull the thread to clip it. Again, you’ll get a big tangle when attempting to chain off. Let me know if that helps. Thanks for watching Serger Savvy!
I'm in Brisbane, Australia. I'm having difficulty with Rolled Hems. I'm not sure what it looks like compared to a narrow overlock stitch. (Which is what I'm using at the moment) I have a ELNA 683. I'm also a little afraid of playing with the tension. 🙂Thanks
Hi Linda, Typically, a rolled hem stitch is the narrowest overlock stitch. The higher tension setting on the lower looper thread will pull the upper looper thread across the top of the fabric to the underside and "roll" the fabric edge with it. It is suitable for light to medium weight fabrics, not bulky, thick or heavy weights. Don't be afraid to adjust tension settings-the machine won't explode! (Good news, huh?) If you send some pics of your rolled hems, I can troubleshoot for you. Send them to gail@gailpatrice.com and please include all tension settings, stitch length, needle type, etc. We can get it figured out! Thanks. (I enjoyed Brisbane when my husband and I visited years ago.)
This stitch looks so pretty. I have a basic Baby Lock Celebrate Serger - so no fancy bells and whistles. I use it primarily for finishing edges in garment sewing but want to learn how to do more. Any ideas on how this stitch could be used on garments? I've been sewing since the pandemic and now want to up my creativity level in my garments and bag making. Thanks so much!
Hi Rita, The 2-thread wrapped edge would be a pretty alternative to a rolled hem on medium weight fabric (hems, sleeve edges). It might be cute on a pocket edge too. Depending on the garment type and fabric,you’d need to test the thread weight. You don’t want to add stiffness with the 8-wt thread I used to demo in Serger Savvy. With a lighter weight thread, adjust stitch length for good coverage. Hope that helps and thanks for watching! Let me know if you have questions.
I didn't know you were doing this, so wasn't there for the Live! Great tutorial, as always! Thanks! What time will you have these every month so I can get it on my calendar?
Hi Mary Jo, I plan to do Serger Savvy on RUclips Live the 2nd Tuesday of each month (as long as I’m not traveling for an event). There may be more frequent ones when I have something new and exciting to show. Glad you caught the replay and thanks for watching!
Thank you! I have a Bernina 850 and would like to make a project using this machine. Any suggestions? Your videos are very informative. Thank you again.
Hi Becky, Why don't you try my Serge It! Table Runner pattern? It's constructed from start to finish in overlock mode. And I LOVE the reverse flatlock on the L850. :et me know if you have questions. If you do use that pattern, turn your mtc dial to +2 for a super wide reverse flatlock. Thanks for asking!
Hi Gail, don’t know if you remember me, but you helped me when I was trying to him this black, formal gown for my neighbors teenager Anyway, I am seriously contemplating getting the baby lock victory instead of using my singer pro finish In the meantime, I have to find a suitable table so I can be comfortable the table I’m using for my domestic is not sturdy enough, and the vibration from the overlocker is too much. I also have a Juki TL 18 now
Hi, nice to hear from you. If you have a chance, take a look at the BERNINA L850 or L860. They are both overlock only machines with very low vibration and they are very quiet. Thanks for contacting me and let me know if you have questions!
@@GailPatriceDesign but the baby lock victory has auto tension and that’s what I’m looking for. I don’t want to have to deal with anything. I just want to enjoy using my over locker. But I will go ahead and see if there are any reviews on the two models that you mentioned I think my local shop is a Bernina dealer
@@GailPatriceDesign so I found that RUclips channel that does a lot of really good sewing machine videos and I did watch one of the videos and yes that L850 is extremely quiet. And it looks like it has auto tension as well and it has an air threader and it takes regular needles. I got all of that in a three minute video. 👍🏻👍🏻 *** holy cow it’s $3500**
@@dcwatashi definitely buy the serger that suits your needs best. Everyone looks for different features, so if the Victory is your fave, then go for it. You want to have fun with your machine.
Hi Kim, The L860 is a fantastic machine. Check out my Serger Tip Clips. All of the overlock stitches are the same as the L 860 and feel free to send along your questions. I’ll be happy to help you. Thanks for watching.
Hi Maureen, yes you can definitely use the wrapped stitch. Because fleece is thick, try the narrow wrapped stitch, but also try the wide one. You might like it better. Let me know which one you choose. And if you have any questions, let me know. Thanks for watching!
Hi Yolanda, No the BERNINA L890 doesn't have a wave stitch, but check out the Twice as Nice Stitch. Here's a link to my Tip Clip: ruclips.net/video/Xs8RSftSSy4/видео.html. Thanks for watching!
I have saved this stitch on my L890 but I want to know if I can also tell it what foot to use. I want to use the C17 but the default is the C11. I can change other things on the settings, how do I change the foot designation?
Hi Yolanda, You have up to 40 characters to name a stitch in the memory. You can always add it to the name: 2-thread Wrapped Overlock C17. Let me know if you have more questions and thanks for watching!
Well, there is this screen that comes up that allows you to change lots of things about the settings. The pressor foot is one of the groups, but it does not seem to be changed and stays at C11 as the option. It sure would be cool if we could choose the C17 @@GailPatriceDesign
Yes it would be cool if there was a built-in setting that could be changed, but if you type it into your stitch name, it should do the trick!@@yolandaleamon1440
Hi Debbie and Karen, I don't think you'll get the stitch to "wrap" around the fabric edge because of the necessary tension. But it never hurts to experiment. Try "B" or "C" and click in the subsidiary looper.If you are successful, please let me know . This helps everyone who wants to "up their serger game." Thanks for watching!
Hi Diane, not necessarily, but when the knife trims the edge, it gives a nice, clean finish under the stitching. Try it both ways and see which you prefer. Thanks for watching!
Hi Gail, YEAHHHH Looking forward to this series. Thank you!!!
Hi Christine, Thanks for watching. I’m looking forward to it too!
