You are an absolute GEM! My t-shirt needed shortening and it already had a flat seam on it. I had no idea how to recreate it when your video came out. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!😃

Take pictures of the settings and the presser foot with your phone and the steps in between, then print them and put into a notebook. I work better with visual clues, so do this at work on my computer. This way, I don’t miss anything.

Wonderful..very educational !!! Can i ask you for the link to the dress mannequin in the back?

[lisaburke]

Thank you for the video. I can't tell but is the dress a girl dress a new pattern?

My instructions don’t say to remove a needle when doing a rolled hem… So when you do it, what happens to that thread line?

[CraftyRie]

You should totally rename this "how to make sergers un-scary'. I've sampled a few different things with mine but I'm keen to try some more now, thank you.

I really enjoy your videos. Your presentation makes sewing less intimidating and for this 70 year old who just got back into sewing, it really helps me feel more confident! Thank you. ♥

Thanks for another great video Alisa! My mom's old Bernette makes a lovely rolled hem - I should actually use it on more things! I also love using the serger for gathering (just with the normal pressure foot) because it goes so much quicker than the sewing machine, and I have less thread breakage. The flatlock seam I got right on the first try (beginner's luck) and never again after that 😂 I do love the look of it though so I will just have to keep trying. I know the machine can do it, I just have to find the right combination of settings again.

Yeah!!! Finally a YouTube that uses the same serger as what I have. Thank you!!!!

[rebecarosario]

Hi hope you're doing well. I have a question why do you removed the left needle? What is the purpose. Thanks.

I love that you are wearing a garment you sewed yourself. So many times I watch garment sewing videos and the presenter is wearing a RTW garment. There is nothing wrong with that - we all wear RTW no matter how much we sew - but it is a nice touch if you are actually wearing something you made. It is a demonstration of your skill and passion for sewing. (LOVE your blouse!)

Thank you for sharing, always be scared to venture into more of my serger, these tips certainly help.

[rdenee]

Thank you for this! I just treated myself to the same Serger. I have wanted one for ages and this encouraged me to go ahead. I can’t wait to try these all out!

[KarenMcNeil-enfn]

Interesting and good to see visual instruction instead of reading it 🙂

[nettiepoohsews]

You are seriously amazing! I love your videos and am learning so much! Keep up the great work!

[ThoughtfulCreativity]

What serger technique have you tried? Let me know below :)

[michellecoon]

Pintucks! What fun! Thanks again for the inspiration!

[FawnhillFarmhouse]

Alisa - thank you! Honestly, I am terrified of my serger. You make it so much easier to want to get the machine out and play with it. THANK You! Hugs to you!

I would love to see how you made the sleeves on your striped blouse. They are fun and elegant simultaneously.

This was an awesome video. I learned so much today. Moving the stitch width up to 7 when gathering makes perfect sense. I just finished using my serger to gather with and sometimes it fell off the edge a smidge. That stitch width would have made the biggest difference. Thank you for all you do. You’re awesome.
