Great video! I’m a new subscriber.

You can also do that with yarn and regular sewing machine.

What a great technique - thank you! Do you have any suggestions if the thread breaks when you are turning the tube or is it easier just to scrap it and start over?

[@sewjourns7128]

If the thread breaks and you are at least half way through a long draw cord I have inserted my serger tweezers or hemostats and grabbed the fabric and was able to pull it through.

[@grammymurry]

Wow- this is game changing! Would a 3 thread stitch work or does it require 4 thread?

[@sewjourns7128]

Sure a three thread will work. Just remember that a three thread overlock is not as sturdy as a 4 thread so just turn it gently and you’ll be fine. It’s such a time saver. Turning tubes is my nemesis. 😜

Where did you find your trim bucket? I’ve been looking for one. Thank you.

[@sewjourns7128]

Hi Marsha, the trim catcher is made by a 3D printer. I’m out today but I’ll get the woman’s contact info for you in a day or two and you can order one.
