Me too, regretted buying mine at first but sewing lovely now and glad I've got it - can see me spending many hours in my sewing room! thanks Abi for the video.
Thank you SO much for showing this! It seriously helped me a LOT! A few years ago I tried so many times to sew with that Aldi Medion Overlocker but it didnt worked and I absolutely didn't know why. I was so angry, sad and disappointed at the same time and that was the reason why I locked it in my closet for years. :( but now I thought I should give it another chance and searched for any tutorial with the exactly same machine, and I found your amazing video. Thank God, it helped and I can finally sew with it after years :') Again: Thank you so much!
Brilliant! It’s frustrating when there are few videos to help - keep watching and just be aware, almost all Overlockers are the same, so practice the steps in any of my tutorials and don’t worry if the machine isn’t the same, the technique will be 😊
Thank you, Abi. My machine was giving me fits and I decided to go back to basics and retread step by step. I don’t know exactly where I was wrong but following along with you it is sewing perfectly now. I’m glad I found your channel.
Thank you very much, you saved me! I was struggling with my machine, this is my first overlocker, and unfortunately I found that the instruction manual is in German! I did not find any useful videos on TH-cam, I followed you step by step, and it works perfectly. Thanks a lot ❤
Thank you so much for doing this tutorial. After many attempts, I have finally managed to get it right. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without your clear guidance
just got this machine a few weeks ago and no wonder I’ve been struggling with my tensions! I’ve been putting my thread behind the tension disks!! thanks abi!:))
Hi great vidio used my machine for first time last night had trouble with tension but I sorted it but the instructions manual is not that use a friendly so can you do more vidios on how to use the machine like disingageing knife how to change blades extra and different stitches that will be a God send as I'm new to using this type of machine thanks
I've got this machine and having problems with the tension, trying to sew jersey, but the left hand thread (blue) will not sit right, it's too loose, could you do a tutorial to show how to sort it out, as I've tried everything I can think of, followed what it says in the booklet, but nothing works
What an incredibly clear tutorial I now feel much more confident using my machine as a beginner. Thank you. I have a question - do you think it's possible to buy a better replacment blade for this model?
The same as my Singer! I was told, when I bought from Lidl it several years ago, that it was difficult to thread! I left it for a couple of years before I plucked up courage to get it out and have a go! I found it straight forward and easy once I had found a way to get the thread in the hook at the back of the lower looper. I wish I could have seen this video then!
I’m confused. There seems to be a step missing on the yellow dial. After the first guide, you go straight to the lowest guide on the left, but the diagram shows going ‘up’ first to the one between the two red guides.
Hi Abi, I have a question unrelated to this video but would love some of your wisdom! I have a 30 yr old Elna which has hardly given me problems until now. I had to replace the lower looper because it’s wire guide had broken off and then I oiled it and it ran beautifully for around 2 minutes. Now I see I can’t rotate the hand wheel right around because the whole needle bar/clamp goes too high and butts against the upper part of the overlocker. I cannot see where the problem is. I don’t know if it’s at the top or at the bottom where the pieces rotate. Help please! Thank you so much.
Hi Abi, I have a question that isn’t specific to this machine, but threading overlockers in general. If one thread runs out before the others on an overlocker, can you replace that specific cone and rethread it, or should you rethread all the spools again? 🤔
Hola soy Isabel me he comprado una overlock Medion y no vienen las instrucciones en en castellano (español ) me encantaría tenerlas en mi idioma la he estado buscando en internet y no la encuentro mi pregunta es donde las puedo encontrar por favor ya que no sé hacer funcionar la máquina correctamente espero respuesta gracias
@@leedavis5958 Have you watched the video? It is available on you tube if you haven't seen it. It explains it all at a nice speed so you don't feel rushed.
Thank you so much, I have nearly threw my machine out the window so many times. It's now sewing lovely.

Thanks for the video, no one else has done one for this machine so this is a godsend!
@@AbisDen there's an unboxing video but that's all! I struggle with the tension but managing just about..!

Bought this as my first overlocker and love it. Thanks so much for this video 😀

Oh, believe me, I hadn’t spotted that straight away, which is why I emphasised on it.
I did that when I first used mine! I was blaming the machine, but, of course, it was user error!
Thank you for this video as I've just brought this and it's my first overlocker, so still learning.
I am so happy to find your Video. Thank you so muss for your detailed description. Now I can use my machine.
Brilliant, thank you for your feedback x Have fun! 🪡✨
Thank you. I've lost count on how many times I'd tried to get it to work. Followed this and it worked 1st time :-)
Very similar to my necchi, I can see now how to move my blade, thanks so much, nice and easy to see video. Keep up the good work 👍😀
Thanks for uploading Abi. This machine is very similar to the Singer one Lidl did last year.
It is, good eye 😊
Please, please do a tutorial! This is my first overlocker and would love to see your review and videos.

Hi Maggie. Same as you have. The Janome 6234xl 👍 All fingers and thumbs. 😊
Thank you so much for this brilliant video
Hi I've got the same overlocker I watched your video how to thread it thank you oh what's the best cotton is for the overlocker please
Look's and sounds like a great machine, especially at that price point. What's your overall opinion Abi?
I’m confused. There seems to be a step missing on the yellow dial. After the first guide, you go straight to the lowest guide on the left, but the diagram shows going ‘up’ first to the one between the two red guides.
