    Thanks for posting, I just purchased a gathering foot for my serger/ overlocker, I am amazed at the variety of different sewing projects which can be completed brilliantly well with a serger.

    I adore my BabyLock air threader... although I confess I don't use it to its full potential. I've used it for inserting zips, which was quite the thrill! But mostly I use it for giving the things I make a more professional finish. As I'm no longer afraid of stretch fabric, I'm using my BabyLock to make roll neck tops for winter. Those sold on the high street are not the quality they once were and I won't pay for clothes that are not well made...
    My husband loves his new long sleeved tee shirt and has asked for more - better than the bought ones, he says... What have I let myself in for???

    When making clothes, can I just serge them rather than sew and then finishing the seams?

    So how do you finish the stitch? there is no going back and locking the stitch?

    • @babylocksewing
      @babylocksewing  7 месяцев назад +3

      The serger stitch automatically "locks in" because of how it loops. That's why it's such a durable way to finish projects.

  • @TheElla9059
    @TheElla9059 11 месяцев назад

    And the tension was automatically done with all fabric types because of the serger brand? Can all sergers do this?

  • @india1422

    How much did you stretch the rib knit when sewing the " neckline"? I have an Evolution and i definitely don't use it as much as i could/ should

    I feel cheated the fact that I got a sewing machine. Quest couldn’t I have just gotten a serger? After seeing this I’m wondering what’s the purpose of Shani g both . And can’t a serger do anything about sewing machine can do ? Anyone can answer

    • @babylocksewing
      @babylocksewing  6 месяцев назад +12

      Don't worry- there are different benefits to both kinds of machines. Yes, a serger is a lot more versatile than some may realize, but your sewing machine is needed for most buttonholes, zippers, facings, and some top stitching options. Your sewing machine will likely come with stitching options a serger can't do. Most people use a serger primarily to finish edges and their sewing machine to piece garments, quilts, etc. We like to think of the two machines as best friends that support each other.

    Very nice video however I wish there was a close up on each fabric piece you sewed. When u talk about 4 over lock or 3 thread over lock which one do u cut out of the threads. It's it number 3 on the spool and take away number 4 or what. You really don't need back ground music it's distracting to me but then again im very old

    • @babylocksewing
      @babylocksewing  Месяц назад

      A 4 thread overlock stitch uses both the Left and the Right Needle along with the Upper and the Lower Looper. A 3 Thread overlock stitch can use either the Left or the Right Needle along with the Upper and the Lower Looper. When you want your stitch to be a wide 3-thread, use the Left Needle in combination with the Upper and Lower Looper. If you want a narrower 3 Thread overlock stitch, remove the Left Needle and leave in the Right Needle. On the Victory you will choose to put your Stitch Selector in the letter A for a wide three thread and on B for a narrow three thread

    What machine is best for sewing clothing/ making clothes? I’m still learning. Clothes like jackets, t shirts, gym shorts? Thank you

    • @babylocksewing
      @babylocksewing  6 месяцев назад

      There are several machines that will do well for garment sewing. It depends if you'd like a straight-stitch only machine or want a machine with different stitch options. Your best bet is to speak to a local retailer who can demo different machines and advise.

  • @aaa303
    @aaa303 Год назад

    If a 3-thread stitch is stretchier and less bulky than a 4-thread, what's the downside? Why ever use a 4-thread stitch?

  • @thatfeelgoodfeeling
    @thatfeelgoodfeeling 7 месяцев назад

    Do you have to keep the machine running once the fabric has gone through? I don't do that on my sewing machine, however, I'm new to Sergers. Thank you.

    • @babylocksewing
      @babylocksewing  7 месяцев назад +1

      It's best to keep your foot on the pedal as you are serging one side of the fabric to maintain consistent tension. However, you may try a few test strips of fabric first to get a feel for it and start off slow.

    It would be nice to have the numbers u use to gather the adjustments you go to fast need to slow it down at least tell us what to use.:( SAD

    • @babylocksewing
      @babylocksewing  Год назад +1

      To gather on your serger using a 4-thread Overlock stitch adjust the stitch length to 4.0 and the Differential Feed to 2.0. Place fabric under the presser foot and stitch making sure to trim the fabric edge. Hope this helps!
