    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!!😊❤️

      ??? 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???

      A good approach is to make lots of samples and label them for future reference. Before working on a garment, test on scraps!
