Even though I'm more into repairing and restoring vintage/antique sewing machines than actual garment making, I love watching these how-to videos. In fact, I just finished a beautiful 1870 Willcox & Gibbs Treadle that turned out amazing. My next project is a 1956 Singer 319. My biggest problem is I'm out of space, but I just hate selling them. Thank you so much Anastasia!
Oh wow that’s awesome. You should check out the sewing machine museum in Wichita. I just visited & there are sooooo many vintage machines. One is cover in pearl inlay. It’s beautiful.
@@SewAnastasia Oh my goodness! We will be in Kansas tomorrow through Monday. We are going to go there on Saurday for sure! We're on a five week road trip from Arizona; your timing is perfect!
Super excited for a server 101 video. Your tutorials are so much clearer than others and I just got my first serger and can’t wait to learn more about using it!
I got an elastic foot with my serger and it really comes in handy. It has a little spring loaded roller that you feed the elastic past, which helps keep consistent tension on the elastic for gathering and of course guides the elastic into just the right spot. You can back off the tension all the way for doing the elastic reinforcements, or crank it down for that max gather!
Every time I have to do a circle like with sleeves on the serger, I just go ahead and baste it in by hand before. I've also used washable basting tape. My serger is so old but still functional, although having a free arm on it would have been wonderful!

I’m so glad you show that even good sewers have to fight their own elastic. Or, at least have to go slowly.
I hate elastic. It’s such a pain.
Oh yes this is a tricky thing to sew with no special attachments

Super exciting!!!!! Congratulations on getting a serger! I’m working on a whole serging 101 course right now for my online sewing school 🧵
@@SewAnastasia amazing! I’ll go check it out once it’s ready 🤩
Thank you. As always, I enjoyed this video lesson.
Thank you for watching 💖🧵

That foot is amazing!!! I love it!!! I love my Max gathers. I like using it to make ruffles!

Those are great ways to keep your elastic in place!
Thank you so much for your wonderful tutorials ❤
How do you serge concave and convex corners continuously?
You could turn at your corner. Serge past the corner & reposition. What are you sewing that there is elastic at a corner?
@@SewAnastasiayou’re right! There shouldn’t be a reason to have to 🤦🏽♀️. I apologize!
