Make a t-shirt...using ONLY your serger!

Give your sewing machine a rest and follow along as we make a t-shirt using only our overlockers! In this video, I'll show you the 2 stitches I use to sew strong and stretchy seams, as well as techniques for attaching the neckband and sleeves in a round (with a neat and tidy finish!) as well as hemming our sleeves and bottom hem - all with the serger - no sewing machine required here!

This is so helpful! I'm about to purchase a serger and this video has boosted my confidence to go ahead and try it! Excellent video for us visual learners, thank you!

Hi there. I am a guy from Scotland who just used a serger today for the first time. I am checking and servicing this overlocker from my local charity shop before it sells. Until today I have never touched an overlocker, but now I can use it with confidence. Your show is inspiring as to what these sergers can do.

A great way to stop and start in a circle serge. Cutting out a notch!

Thank you! This was my first serger project on a brand new machine and it turned out awesome.

I took your class on this at the sewing expo earlier this month and this video will help remind me of the techniques when I make another t-shirt.

I just bought a serger and I am completely CLUELESS about how to use it. I get scared and use my sewing machine 😂 thank you so much for this!

Thank you. I actually bought a ready-made t-shirt from a store with the flatlock stitch exactly like that on the sleeves and hem, and I had never seen it before, it looks nice.

EXCELLENT video ~ this was exactly what I have been wanting to learn. Thank you!!

I'm new to overlock and it will be useful to show more details how to drop left needle because i have no idea how to do it or how to cut fabric.

[audreybringgold]

So cool! I'm picking up my serger tomorrow and I can't wait to try this

[JennaSpence-xw]

Thanks for the instruction! You make this look easy, can't wait to try xx

[Firecloak]

I was able to alter my t-shirt with this, and it looks professional! thanks

[FridayFrida]

Looking great! You made me realise what I was doing wrong with my flat lock seam that would not unfold.... and now it looks great. It's my first serger and I don't know how I lived without it before. Im definitely sewing a t-shirt like this. Thank you!

[MaesRuth]

Thank you so much. I was gifted a serger and am just learning how to use it. I just finished a semi wonky tank top using this video.

[grandmayolie]

Loved this video instructions were easy to understand and very encouraging
