Took my Triumph out of the box today and watched your video and plan on threading my machine tomorrow and get started. Thank you so much for your excellent videos. You explain everything so well. I will be watching all of your videos related to the Triumph.
Maria Soler many Tip Clips we’re done on the Ovation, but are still applicable to the Triumph. Let me know if you need help and thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
Thank you for this video. I don't use my coverstitch nearly often enough, yet, and need to refer to the threading of the needle. Thankfully this is saved in my TH-cam library and you've helped me once again. Thank you!!!
What a nice compliment-thank you. Glad the video was helpful and thanks for watching!
An amazing tutorial! Just bought a Triumph... scared to death.. Thanks so much
Hi Carol, Don’t be scared! If you have questions or get stuck, let me know and I’ll help you. Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
Thank you so much! The pictures in the manual and quick guides are hard for me to see, so your close-ups are very much appreciated . I also didn’t understand how to place the needle threads into the guide. Very helpful!
Glad the Tip Clip was helpful and thanks for watching, Mary!
Gail, thank you so much for this tutorial. You did an amazing job getting so close to the thread holes and guides and pausing the screen to show everyone so clearly. I appreciate your efforts so much!
You’re welcome and thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks for this tutorial I wanted to do chain stitch , & after not doing it for a long time, I needed reminder, & you did it beautifully! I am most grateful .
Glad the Tip Clip was helpful Derynda and thanks for watching. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Goodness I really wish I’d found this video 10 hours ago.
I have spent today learning threading for cover stitch
Can you believe it took over an hour to learn how to get the thread into the little silver guide at the back of the machines- it’s easy once you know how!
This video was great with clear, calm and thorough instructions and visuals
Thank you so much
Glad the video was helpful, Louise!
Thank you! I have watched some of your other videos but not anything on the cover stitch until today. I need to shorten and hem some knit pants and thought it's time to use the cover stitch. I looked at the guide but it is hard to see the threading path. Your video showed me just how I had to thread for the cover stitch. Can't thank you enough Gail. I hope you realize how much your help means to so many.
Hi Carol. Glad the Tip Clip was so helpful. Let me know if you have questions and thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
Hello Gail,
I am getting ready to order my first ever Baby Lock, and it is the Triumph. I'm watching your videos like a hawk. I know I will have a wonderful time stitching!
P.S. I have been sewing for almost 50 years!)
Gail is the best instructor in this machine!
Thanks for the nice compliment Carol!
Just sent this to a student who now lives in another state. We have been trying to get together with her newTriumph. I am sure this will help till then. Thank you Gail.
Gretta Hurst please let your student know that I’ll be delighted to answer any questions she has. She can contact me anytime. Thanks for sending the video to her and for watching!
Phenomenal!! Thank you! This is the best, most clear video I've been able to find instructing us how to thread the Triumph. And thank you for showing ALL 8 of the different possibilities. I would also love a video showing exactly how to set the dials (I know it's on the chart but it would still be helpful to see it in action) for the 8 thread serging. I do lots of tablecloths/napkins, etc. and I would love to see you show the 8 thread serging plus a few variations of the decorative and combo decorative. I'll check your other videos as well. THANK YOU!
Glad you found the video so helpful, Teresa and thanks for watching!
You are an AMAZING teacher. You make it crystal clear how to do things. Thank you Gail.
Just getting ready to trade in my Acclaim for the Triumph and have been searching TH-cam for videos to give me more confidence in my decision. Your video is the best I've seen....you anticipate our questions and go slow enough and repeat steps for newbies. Thank you!! I've subscribed and will watch all pertinent videos you have.
Hi Alice, Glad the Tip Clip was helpful and if you have more questions, I'll be happy to hear from you. Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
I'm embarrassed to say I've had my serger for over a year and have stumbled through the "Threading Guide". I even took a class and they didn't say what the green and gold headers were on that guide!! Thank you, this is so helpful!!
Hi Katt, don’t be embarrassed-you’ve got plenty of company! Please feel free to send any questions you have to me and I’ll be delighted to help you. There are lots of tips and tricks to various techniques to make your serger easy to use and I’m always happy to share. Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
Thank you SO MUCH! Threading the needles for the coverstitch was SO FRUSTRATING, and I KNEW that it had to be user-error! You made this so simple, and I really appreciate your help!
You’re welcome. Mistakes are unfortunately the best teachers (I should know)! Let me know if you need any more help and thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
This is so helpful. Thank you for all your instructive videos. A new machine can be daunting at first. 😳
You’re welcome Nina. If you have questions please send them along and I’ll be happy to help!
Thank you so much. I have watched many videos for threading, but yours is the best. I now can finally thread with confidence!!!
Glad the video was helpful and thanks for watching, Cathy!
Thank you very much for your instructions on how to thread my new Triumph Serger, your patience was so appreciated! I'm looking so forward to watching all of your video's.
Let me know if you have questions and I’ll be happy to help you Julie. Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!

Thank you for this tutorial! I just bought a Triumph and I know I will be referring back to this tutorial as I get to know my new machine!

Excellent, as always!
Thanks Jean. Let me know if you have any questions and thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
Thank you for your great video. Excellent explanations. We are new to sergering and purchased a Triumph. We absolutely love it. First serger we ever owned. Now, i must confess.... we bought a second Triumph. We are making baby clothes and don’t want to be left without a serger when it goes in for service. We also didn’t want to learn new settings on a different serger that will slow down production. These are amazing machines.
Hi Al, yes, the Triumph is a wonderful serger. Glad the video was helpful and thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips! Good luck with your baby clothes production too.
Gail, your Cover Stitch threading video for the Triumph helped me tremendously, so I knew the machine was threaded properly. I still had problems, so I switched to a 90 stretch needle, because I was trying the cover stitch on knits and it worked like a dream!!!
Gail, this was immensely helpful! Thank you!
Excellent tutorial!! Thank you so very much!
You’re welcome. Glad it was helpful and thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
Thank you so much for this video. I'm pretty savvy with Babylock machines but threading the needles for the coverstitch was always hit or miss. I appreciate it!
Glad the video was helpful, Susan and thanks for watching!
I also bought this machine and have not used it Thank you so much for your tutorial. Found you by accident and I have subscribed looking forward to other tutorials from you.
thank you so much for this video. I bought my machine in October and it is still in the box. I bought a video from another person and it doesn't go into threading the way you do. You've answered many questions that I had....
Oh my gosh - thank you so much! I appreciate the wonderful instructions - I will get this machine threaded this weekend.
Shannon A am so glad and keep me posted on your Serging success. You can do it!!!
Thank you for your wonderful videos. I have a Triumph and enjoy it so much, but there is always more to learn. So keep the videos coming !
Hi Caryl, I learn something new all the time. All of you are so inspiring and it's fun to see everyone else's creations! Thanks for watching.

Maravillosa máquina!!!! Muy interesante el vídeo, gracias por mostrarnos, tus destrezas y darnos a conocer el funcionamiento de ésta máquina. Muchas gracias 🙏🙋🏻♀️🇪🇸
Hola Angeles Maria, I'm happy the video was helpful. It is a very nice machine with a great stitch. Please let me know if you have questions. I can enter your questions in Google Translate to answer you correctly. Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
THIS IS THE BEST DEMO I HAVE WATCHED (AND I'VE SEEN MANY!)...THANK YOU FOR SUCH A GREAT JOB!
Thanks! Let me know if I can help you with anything or if you have questions.
I need to have a review of the wave stitch. Thanks.
Hre's a link to the wave stitch: th-cam.com/video/nx2l5EcM2AQ/w-d-xo.html and the flatlock wave stitch: th-cam.com/video/tkNLd9oGazE/w-d-xo.html. Let me know if you have questions and thanks!
hi Gail, can you please post a simple video of how to thread triumph 320 overlocker? I searched long time and there was only 45 seconds vidoe which was nto helpful at all. I am a beginner and very keen to start this enjoyable hobby. now so frustrated about my early steps of how to use my loverloxker. much appreciated and thanks. Luci Anderson
Hi Lucy, is there a a particular stitch you need help with? In the Serger Tip Clip I do show how to thread the machine. But if there is something I didn’t show, I’ll be happy to help you. It’s fun learning about sergers. They’re such amazing machines!
Thank you for this video. What is the name of the narrower pressure foot used in cover stitch?
Hi Katherine, it’s the cover chainstitch foot: BLE8-CCF. Thanks for watching!
I remember hearing something about if your fabric grows to the left, you do something with the diff feed and if it grows to the right, you do something else with DF. Can you clarify the issues with Differential Feed? Thank you.
I have one question. I still don’t understand when you are getting ready to thread the needles and you said, “step it back”. Do I take my thread and pull it under the metal area that holds the needles then pull it over the top of the metal arm directly behind/beneath it? I have never been able to see exactly what path the thread is taking. I especially don’t know how to thread the C1 needle. Do I wrap it around the small metal arm on the left of the needle bar? Thank you
Can you show me how to thread my triumph for a for thread safety stitch thank you so much
MK Buddy When you watch the Tip Clip, that is the first stitch I am showing. You thread the upper and lower loopers and both overlock needles. Follow along in the video and let me know if you need help. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for helping with this process. The instruction manual does not explain clearly the guide for the needles, the over and back piece. I am still having trouble with the left thread, it is not holding. Once I sew, it just unravels as I pull it out. Something is not catching on the bottom?
Are you in coverstitch or overlock mode?
@@GailPatriceDesign Overlock. I am just SO frustrated, I have been trying to thread this thing for almost 2 hours.
@@sewingstudio7118 can you send a pic or video of how you are threading?
@@GailPatriceDesign I don’t think I can send a photo via You Tube comments -
@@sewingstudio7118 I just looked at the video and the left needle is definitely in the wrong position. Look for the O1 needle Mark. It shouldn’t be forward of the other needle.
What do you think of the idea of leaving all five needles in the machine, no matter what stitch you are using?
Hi Pam, It's not a good idea. Your stitch formation won't always be correct with extra needles inserted. You don't want to poke more holes in your fabric than necessary and you'll wear out the extra needles unnecessarily. Even if they aren't threaded, they're still piercing fabric and dulling the points. (Just what you wanted to hear, right?!) Thanks for watching and let me know if you have more questions!
Gail, your answer to Pam concerning leaving needles in the machine even if they will not. be used makes so much sense! When being shown how to use my Evolve, I was told not to bother removing any needles that are not being used but now I know that info was incorrect! This was an awesome video, very clear although I can see that the process to thread the machine for cover stitch is a bit more complicated than I
Oops! (Had not finished my comment above!!)... incorrect!
Gale when the standard not the role hem what's the best number to set it at? Do you have a number that you keep it at when doing the chain cover stitch?
MK Buddy Are you asking about the stitch length? It is variable. The fabric thickness and type as well as the look you want all determine stitch length. When in coverstitch mode, I don’t usually have the stitch length shorter than 3.0. A longer length looks better. Tell me what you’re working on and I can be more specific. Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips and stay safe!
What is the cover stitch foot called?
Hi Jacqueline, for the Triumph, it’s the BLE8-CCF (cover/chainstitch foot). Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
Lower loopers not creating a stitch. Rethreaded all threads. Still doesn't create a stitch
Hi Lynn, What stitch are you working on? Have you pulled the upper and lower looper threads to the bed of the machine and in back of the presser foot? If you send me close-up pics of your threading, I will be happy to help you. Am wondering whether you inadvertently threaded the chain looper instead of the lower looper. Send them to Gail@gailpatrice.com. Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
