Gathers on Janome serger using regular serger foot: Left & right needles: 7 Upper & lower loopers: 3 Differential feed: 2.5 Stitch length: 4 No need to pull threads. If you want more gathers, just turn needle disk tensions up from 7 to 8. For less gathers, turn needle tension disks below 7 (try 5 or 6). Makes tons of ruffles in seconds, ladies and gents. Happy 🧵serging!!😊❤️
Wow that's fantastic news, thanks for sharing Maureen that's amazing. Yes there is so much you can do and I will demonstrate more possibilities in the future too.
??? Especially for woven fabrics, overlocking is essential if u don’t lining a garment. Which u don’t do for trousers or blouses... how otherwise u manage to not have frilly edges???
Great, I don't understand everything you say - I am Dutch and living in France for over 30 years, and I "just" bought an overlocker, so I am not familiar with the vocabulary. Showing "how to do" explains everything verry well :) Thanks ! One thumb up and one more "abonnée" :)
Thank you very much for your very Informative video I’m excepting your challenge I just don’t know when I can get to it but I am definitely going to do it thank you so very much I subscribed and I’m looking forward to seeing more wonderful sewing tips from you
I love her. This is the first video I've seen by her. I will definitely be a regular viewer. She makes everything she taught very understandable. Bravo!😃
I have struggled with my overlocker machine to complete steps as above. The tips have been great! My machine is an entry level machine and I have never been satisfied with the rolled hem finish I get from it.
I just found a babylock imagine on Facebook Market for an excellent price and I could cry watching this I can't wait to sew 😭 these tips are lifesavers lol
I have just ordered an overlocker, and am anxious for it to arrive. I am so please I have found your video, it is so helpful, and I will be watching more! Hello from Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks so much for this wonderful video - I was told it could do more than what I have been doing !!! Now to put it through the paces !! Thank you again.
I remember feeling like that too, but stick with it and you will love it I promise. it is scary at first but you soon get used to it and practice is the best way to build your confidence.
Wow thanks so much that's really lovely of you to say. The beauty of the channel is you can always come back any time you like and find the tips again if you do forget them. Sometimes I even refer to my own tutorials if I can't quite remember how to do something!
So many different ways of using a overlocker, thank you for sharing. Is it possible for tips onto overlocking a hem on jersey fabric as at the moment mine are coming out stretched and wavy and for the life of me I cannot think how to correct it. Help is needed. Thank you.
Differential feed is what you need. It causes the two sets of feed dogs to move at different speeds. Try it on a piece of scrap fabric the same as you are overlocking. If I remember rightly (I haven't used my overlocker for a while so check this) a higher setting is needed so the feed dogs will feed the fabric through faster and so avoid stretching. When set at 1, or whatever the normal setting for your machine is, the feed dogs may stretch or even gather fabric. If that isn't what you want then the differential feed needs adjusting.
Nothing better than a Baby Lock Serger as well as their sewing machines for sure. Thank you for your lovely video it was very helpful. God's blessings.
Thanks for these tips. I thought of using a flatlock for hems. Would that work? I haven't used my overlocker, Janome 6234XL, for a while as family issues and the lack of space has prevented me. I'm eager to get started again. I've never found threading my overlockers difficult. I was scared of mine for some time before I took the plunge! I saw someone cutting out that rectangle before sewing two pieces together but she didn't explain why. You have now helped me understand this. It is so simple but so effective.
The first tip blew my mind. THAT’S HOW YOU DO THAT. Thank you so much, you have literally changed my life. Also the second tip was really great. I have heard of it before, but I never saw it illustrated so well.
Lucy loved this, must say I cant recommend my BabyLock enough. It is probably the best thing I have ever bought for sewing my own clothes. Even changing the needles to Coverstitch is not as bad as I once thought.
I enjoyed all your tips which were a great reminder as I haven't done any sewing for a while. It's given me a boost to get back to the machine again. Thank you.
Super useful summary. I've seen a lot of these tips but felt I didn't have confidence I'd remember them properly. Your little, jump right in style demos are so much appreciated!
Oh that's so great to hear, sometimes I get so nervous about whether I've gone the right way about things and whether people will like or understand them so it is so nice to hear comments like this thank you.
I wish I knew this a long time ago!!! So Easy to follow her tips for the overlock machine! Very Clear instructions, very clear pictures of what to do, EXCELLANT!!!
My Bernina overlock machine turned this year 31 years old, :) i have sewn countless garments on it and "she" is still going strong💪. Unfortunately the machine does not have so many functions like the new ones. Btw i am now the proud owner of the coverlock brother 3550 with the top looper my Christmas gift to my self and 3 years ago i purchased the yuki dx7 as my birthday present🎁 so i am all set to make all kind of garments. Last week i purchased a lot of jersey fabric in a outlet... the sales man is just grinning when he sees 👀 me, because i always buy soooo much!
Thank you for boosting my confidence to use my overlocker for more than seams Lucy, You have saved me reverting to my 51 year old Elna Supermatic and doing the t-shirts I learned to make 45+ years ago! Many thanks from Australia.
Lucy, I love watching your videos, but I do wish you would use a common or garden Brother Overlocker - not all of us are fortunate enoughnto have an all singing all dancing machine, like a Babylock. x x x

I couldn't see the need for an overlocker as I usually use woven fabrics.I've now changed my mind.Brilliant vlog.
Lol. I feel the same.
I have one and never used it. Now I'm dusting it while I watch the video. Lol.
Wow that's fantastic news, thanks for sharing Maureen that's amazing. Yes there is so much you can do and I will demonstrate more possibilities in the future too.
Haha that's brilliant news Annabelle I hope you fall back in love with it now

@@doedelbroesel3239 I either use my pinking scissors ,french seams,my zig zag stitch x
Thank you for the wonderful tips, I now see my overlocker in a new light. Can't wait to try some of these tips

Oh wow thanks Drolma, good luck with the new overlocker.
Hi Lucy, I just got my first overlooked at the age of 78.I love watching your videos. I have a lot to learn. From South Australia. Cheers.

Wow! I had no idea! Thank you for posting.
Thanks so much for this wonderful video - I was told it could do more than what I have been doing !!! Now to put it through the paces !! Thank you again.
Thank you for all your tips. They will be very useful in the near future.
Excellent tips, thank you. Can't wait to put them all to use.
Great tips- I am new to overlocking and while I love using it- sewing so fast is fun- it intimidates me.
A good approach is to make lots of samples and label them for future reference. Before working on a garment, test on scraps!
I remember feeling like that too, but stick with it and you will love it I promise. it is scary at first but you soon get used to it and practice is the best way to build your confidence.
Yes always test on scraps!
Fabulous tips. I come back to this video regularly.
Received an overlocker for Christmas, so this will be most helpful -- thanks!

Very nice examples for overlocker. I would like to see how to use a french curve for making adjustments.
Thanks for sharing Jane I'll add it to the list.

Brilliant, thank you. You just answered a few of my questions. The first two trics are perfect!
This woman is such a great presenter.
