Gathers on Janome serger using regular serger foot: Left & right needles: 7 Upper & lower loopers: 3 Differential feed: 2.5 Stitch length: 4 No need to pull threads. If you want more gathers, just turn needle disk tensions up from 7 to 8. For less gathers, turn needle tension disks below 7 (try 5 or 6). Makes tons of ruffles in seconds, ladies and gents. Happy 🧵serging!!😊❤️
Wow that's fantastic news, thanks for sharing Maureen that's amazing. Yes there is so much you can do and I will demonstrate more possibilities in the future too.
??? Especially for woven fabrics, overlocking is essential if u don’t lining a garment. Which u don’t do for trousers or blouses... how otherwise u manage to not have frilly edges???
I just found a babylock imagine on Facebook Market for an excellent price and I could cry watching this I can't wait to sew 😭 these tips are lifesavers lol
I have just ordered an overlocker, and am anxious for it to arrive. I am so please I have found your video, it is so helpful, and I will be watching more! Hello from Canada 🇨🇦
I love her. This is the first video I've seen by her. I will definitely be a regular viewer. She makes everything she taught very understandable. Bravo!😃
I have struggled with my overlocker machine to complete steps as above. The tips have been great! My machine is an entry level machine and I have never been satisfied with the rolled hem finish I get from it.
My Bernina overlock machine turned this year 31 years old, :) i have sewn countless garments on it and "she" is still going strong💪. Unfortunately the machine does not have so many functions like the new ones. Btw i am now the proud owner of the coverlock brother 3550 with the top looper my Christmas gift to my self and 3 years ago i purchased the yuki dx7 as my birthday present🎁 so i am all set to make all kind of garments. Last week i purchased a lot of jersey fabric in a outlet... the sales man is just grinning when he sees 👀 me, because i always buy soooo much!
Nothing better than a Baby Lock Serger as well as their sewing machines for sure. Thank you for your lovely video it was very helpful. God's blessings.
Great, I don't understand everything you say - I am Dutch and living in France for over 30 years, and I "just" bought an overlocker, so I am not familiar with the vocabulary. Showing "how to do" explains everything verry well :) Thanks ! One thumb up and one more "abonnée" :)
I remember feeling like that too, but stick with it and you will love it I promise. it is scary at first but you soon get used to it and practice is the best way to build your confidence.
Wow that's fantastic how these items are done with an overlock machine 🎉 .Just love the Straps you have shown me a very different way of making straps 🎉 Many many thanks for 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 xxxx
Thanks so much for this wonderful video - I was told it could do more than what I have been doing !!! Now to put it through the paces !! Thank you again.
Yeah, I need to be brave and actually touch my overlocker. It has been sitting on my kitchen table for a year now, and I need to finish what I started sewing, so I can eat by the table at some point, lol. You make it look so easy. 👕🧵📍✂️
Super useful summary. I've seen a lot of these tips but felt I didn't have confidence I'd remember them properly. Your little, jump right in style demos are so much appreciated!
Oh that's so great to hear, sometimes I get so nervous about whether I've gone the right way about things and whether people will like or understand them so it is so nice to hear comments like this thank you.
The first tip blew my mind. THAT’S HOW YOU DO THAT. Thank you so much, you have literally changed my life. Also the second tip was really great. I have heard of it before, but I never saw it illustrated so well.
I wish I knew this a long time ago!!! So Easy to follow her tips for the overlock machine! Very Clear instructions, very clear pictures of what to do, EXCELLANT!!!
I enjoyed all your tips which were a great reminder as I haven't done any sewing for a while. It's given me a boost to get back to the machine again. Thank you.
Oh my gosh, Lucy! I know I’m late to the party, but thanks so much for these tips! I’ve definitely been under utilizing my Babylock serger. That stops today. 💗
This was a very helpful tutorial for this 59 year old joiner that's still learning this wonderful craft. I don't have an overlocker yet. Greetings from Scotland.
Great tips. I've often used the folded hem technique. Just recently realized that I can use the same technique to create a channel for elastic waistband in the cozy lounge pants I'm making my kids!
Thank you for boosting my confidence to use my overlocker for more than seams Lucy, You have saved me reverting to my 51 year old Elna Supermatic and doing the t-shirts I learned to make 45+ years ago! Many thanks from Australia.
This is just chock-full of terrific info and I'm so grateful. Knit neckband have been the bane of my sewing life for so long and now I can't wit for next chance to use your techniques. It's all great!
Lucy loved this, must say I cant recommend my BabyLock enough. It is probably the best thing I have ever bought for sewing my own clothes. Even changing the needles to Coverstitch is not as bad as I once thought.
Wow thanks so much that's really lovely of you to say. The beauty of the channel is you can always come back any time you like and find the tips again if you do forget them. Sometimes I even refer to my own tutorials if I can't quite remember how to do something!
How wonderful I found you.... I'm in the USA.... this was a GREAT lesson on sergers... Thank you very much for your talents and time making this... Jon
Thank you very much for your very Informative video I’m excepting your challenge I just don’t know when I can get to it but I am definitely going to do it thank you so very much I subscribed and I’m looking forward to seeing more wonderful sewing tips from you
My house is under construction and I haven't been able to use my BL Imagine until recently. I needed help getting aquainted again, and this was an utterly amazing video -- you're a wonderful instructor. Thanks so much.
Thanks for these tips. I thought of using a flatlock for hems. Would that work? I haven't used my overlocker, Janome 6234XL, for a while as family issues and the lack of space has prevented me. I'm eager to get started again. I've never found threading my overlockers difficult. I was scared of mine for some time before I took the plunge! I saw someone cutting out that rectangle before sewing two pieces together but she didn't explain why. You have now helped me understand this. It is so simple but so effective.
Very interesting. I have a Babylock buts it’s about 15years old, I only use it for seams??? Now I am retired I am going to try some new things with it. I really love your sessions that I have watched. I especially like the Q and A’s. Thank you

I couldn't see the need for an overlocker as I usually use woven fabrics.I've now changed my mind.Brilliant vlog.
Lol. I feel the same.
I have one and never used it. Now I'm dusting it while I watch the video. Lol.
Wow that's fantastic news, thanks for sharing Maureen that's amazing. Yes there is so much you can do and I will demonstrate more possibilities in the future too.
Haha that's brilliant news Annabelle I hope you fall back in love with it now

Great to hear!
OMG! There ARE Angels... I knew it! Thank you saviour for this tutorial of yours. I am ready to hit my overlocker with a new vision. 👏👏👏😍🙏😁❤️️😘🇦🇺
Aaaah so sweet of you to say thank you!

Oh wow thanks Drolma, good luck with the new overlocker.
Great tips- I am new to overlocking and while I love using it- sewing so fast is fun- it intimidates me.
A good approach is to make lots of samples and label them for future reference. Before working on a garment, test on scraps!
I remember feeling like that too, but stick with it and you will love it I promise. it is scary at first but you soon get used to it and practice is the best way to build your confidence.
Yes always test on scraps!
Wow that's fantastic how these items are done with an overlock machine 🎉 .Just love the Straps you have shown me a very different way of making straps 🎉 Many many thanks for 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 xxxx

Oh my goodness! Such wonderful information. I never knew there were so many ways to use my overlocker. Thank you.
What a wonderful video! Thank you. It inspired me to start using my overlocker.
Wonderful!
Brilliant video full of tips and tricks. My overlocker is quite old now but I'll have practice at all of these. All are so useful.
Great videos. I just tried my new serger for the first time last night and wasn’t sure why I needed it. Now it know! Thank
Thank you for all your tips. They will be very useful in the near future.
