    Common Questions Answered:
    1. The fabric is actually white on the back side. I did not add interfacing or anything.
    2. The seam guide comes with the machine. It is not available for separate purchase.

    What I appreciated so much about this video was that you used a fabric with a very contrasting color between the Right Side and the Wrong side.
    I’m a beginner and have recently taken three 3 sewing classes at my local community college’s continuing education department for a 4 class certification, each a semester long, and none of the teachers would use such a fabric that made it very clear what the Right Side, the Wrong Side, the Back, and the Front were as they were demonstrating their sewing when teaching how to make a knit t-shirt, dress shirt, and a pair of dress trousers.
    I’m dumbfounded that they didn’t, ‘cause that simple consideration would have made the classes so much easier.
    Thank you!

    This is by far one of THE BEST TUTORIALS I have ever watched. It is SIMPLE, CLEAR, COMPLETE with great explanations for "WHY?", which is so helpful to those of us who need to know, in order to clearly understand. The length of the video is perfect and doesn't contain lots of EXTRA talk, information that can sometimes confuse a newbie to the serger. I will watch EVERY sewing tutorial you make, now! Thank you for explaining the process so clearly with great imagery to show how things work and should look. FANTASTIC TUTORIAL!! Thank you so very much!

    This I think, is by far the best tutorial I've ever watched. Your instructions are very calm and clear and you make it look so easy. As others have commented, I appreciate that I didn't have to struggle to hear and understand you through a bunch of background music. I have a t-shirt that I started 10 years ago when I bought my serger. I gave up on it but kept it in that "someday I'll finish it" pile. Today I found this tutorial of yours and am kind of excited to try the techniques you taught and actually finish that shirt! Thank you!

    You are such an excellent teacher and communicator. I love your enthusiastic smile and attitude. I'm self taught and somewhat experienced at age 64. I love seeing your ways which are a lot like me, but I'm still picking up new tips. You are clean and sharp and take the time to do all the steps which I need to be more like. Now if I'd just stop watching TH-cam and get to sewing it would be great.🤔🤣

    I love this Serger Lesson! I think most of us have a fair idea of how to assemble and sew a bodice and sleeves,
    and neckband.
    You my dear, are giving me the confidence to learn to do all these things on a Serger because
    you beautifully and clearly show us how, to handle the fabric with this beast! ie Stop right before the hump
    and do a little magic. Stretch elastic just that much before sewing. Making sure that hemlines will be flush
    with the cutter/guild. A lot of scary stuff.
    Whew! You certainly took the fear out of handling this Filly!
    Thank you

    Thanks for creating this tutorial Anita. I just finished my first garment on a serger by following along to it. The comment about how the neckband needs to be stretched to the neckline saved me, as I was about to sew on a too big neckband, which, like you remarked, would have produced a really bad result. I made a few mistakes along the way, but all in all, the top turned out nice after I fixed the mistakes.

    • @AnitabyDesign

    Very nice teaching 👍, my dad taught me how to sew when I was around 13 years old. I used to help him during school breaks. I never thought that these skills he thought three decades ago would be useful to me today. I recently bought a Kenmore 385 series from a thrift store and I am so excited to start sewing again.
