Take pictures of the settings and the presser foot with your phone and the steps in between, then print them and put into a notebook. I work better with visual clues, so do this at work on my computer. This way, I don’t miss anything.
Awesome, thank you for sharing! You can probably even attach a tiny sample of fabric that it was used on, so that way in the future you know if it was lightweight or medium weight fabric and etc :)
You should totally rename this "how to make sergers un-scary'. I've sampled a few different things with mine but I'm keen to try some more now, thank you.
He he, that's a good one :) I think they are just so fast and also feature the knife to cut fabric, so sometimes that gives us extra things to worry about, but once you get into it - the fear goes away :) There are so many more things they can do, but I don't have the attachments for them - one of them is an elastic feeding foot :)
I really enjoy your videos. Your presentation makes sewing less intimidating and for this 70 year old who just got back into sewing, it really helps me feel more confident! Thank you. ♥
Zelda, hello there and.... guess what I am going to say? :) Get that serger out of the box, look up a manual for it, get a big pile of fabric scraps and set aside a couple of hours and you will not regret it! You will love it!
Don't be scared! :) sergers can be different, but with the manual in hand and some scrap fabric (we all have that, right?) you can dedicate an hour or so just exploring what it can do for you. It is fun, enjoy! :)
I love that you are wearing a garment you sewed yourself. So many times I watch garment sewing videos and the presenter is wearing a RTW garment. There is nothing wrong with that - we all wear RTW no matter how much we sew - but it is a nice touch if you are actually wearing something you made. It is a demonstration of your skill and passion for sewing. (LOVE your blouse!)
Great video. I was a licensed instructor 12 years ago. Sold my top of the line Babylock serger due to downsizing and haven’t touched one since. Getting a Brother 1034D next week and feel totally lost - hopefully it’s like riding a bicycle 😁- but your videos are certainly going to help. Many thanks.
I actually watched this video a while ago, and then came across it again today. Definitely worth watching again... it's a good reminder of the possibilities.
I have finally mastered how to thread my surgery and then it broke down. It is 20 years old. so I just bought a fancy juki and now that I'm a lot more confident, I look forward to using some of these new techniques
Thank you for this! I just treated myself to the same Serger. I have wanted one for ages and this encouraged me to go ahead. I can’t wait to try these all out!
Alisa - thank you! Honestly, I am terrified of my serger. You make it so much easier to want to get the machine out and play with it. THANK You! Hugs to you!
thak you! Ive joined your videos as I do own an overlocker but hardly use it...different brand but I'm sure I can still learn. You explain so well...thank you so mch, very encouraging..and I'm nearly 70 with 50 years sewing!
@Thoughtful Creativity - CRAFT, SEW, DIY I gotta be honest, I HAVE the manual... the machine is just... new & scary, lol. I've been using it, getting more comfortable and more proficient... the gathering foot that attaches the ruffle to the hem edge at the same time - wooo! I gotta go read the manual, you inspired me. Thanks for your videos, you've taught me a lot!
I found your video, actually your video found me. What a wonderful find! Thank you for showing the versatility of surgers. I love the step by step instructions. I own a 1034D. Let the projects begin!
Thanks so much for sharing this video, I've learnt a few things that I didn't know about. Also, UA-cam has stopped putting the videos at the corners, so when we look up we we don't see anything at all. Much love to you and yours.
Lovely intro... Honestly, something I needed. I have an old 3 thread serger and no manual... Been interesting! I still don't think I have all the settings correct, but I can overlook my seams at least.
Hi there. Hope this is useful but if you type in the make and model on line you will probably find a copy of the manual is available to download. I found one for my old sewing machine and Overlocker which I have both printed and kept on computer file.
I love this serger. It's very easy to use and thread. Not as easy as air thread😂 but still easy. It is a good entry machine imho. Very helpful video for more to do with our sergers. This channel is so full of information. I'm pretty sure someone could learn to sew just watching you. ❤
That is awesome! Congratulations! Don't let it sit int he corner, with the manual in hand and a pile of scraps - play around and it see what it can do for you :) it will take a little bit of practice, but what doesn't, right? I am excited for You! :)
So many great tips as always!!! I will never understand why people are scared of sergers! I love mine so much! I also deal with severe back, leg, neck…basically all over chronic body pains and I got my serger because it’s faster. And she sure is! If you’re afraid of your serger (again, I don’t understand how you could be) check your local quilt shops. They may have classes to get you acquainted with your serger or even project classes that teach you all sorts of new things you can do with your serger. My serger (Baby Lock Vibrant) came with a second foot but it looks identical to the one that’s always been on my machine. I thought it was in case the other foot broke or got lost. Baby Lock feet are SO expensive. I’ll have to check my manual to see if it’s actually identical or if it’s for gathering or some other type of foot! If it wasn’t for this video I’d never have even thought to check my manual!! So thank you!
I really enjoy your videos. I have recently been able to get a job in the sewing industry. I am learning so much as I was only a basic craft sewer beforehand. I havebeen wanting to get a serger to add at home and thanks to this video I I now know how useful it will be .
Thank you kindly! I tried rolled hem today because of this, and it was so straightforward that I'm kicking myself for being so slow to try it. Certainly a new favourite in the répertoire!
Thanks for another great video Alisa! My mom's old Bernette makes a lovely rolled hem - I should actually use it on more things! I also love using the serger for gathering (just with the normal pressure foot) because it goes so much quicker than the sewing machine, and I have less thread breakage. The flatlock seam I got right on the first try (beginner's luck) and never again after that 😂 I do love the look of it though so I will just have to keep trying. I know the machine can do it, I just have to find the right combination of settings again.
Thank you so much for an excellent tutorial on how to use my serger to do so much more❤❤❤ you are a wonderful teacher so up beat ❤❤❤ love your enthusiasm 🥰
This was an awesome video. I learned so much today. Moving the stitch width up to 7 when gathering makes perfect sense. I just finished using my serger to gather with and sometimes it fell off the edge a smidge. That stitch width would have made the biggest difference. Thank you for all you do. You’re awesome.
Thank you. I've had my serger for years (Brother 1034D). Took the stitch finger off once. I need to try these techniques, especially the rolled hem as I want to make some scarves.
You are an absolute GEM! My t-shirt needed shortening and it already had a flat seam on it. I had no idea how to recreate it when your video came out. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!😃
Love it! I have the same machine from Christmas, have not taken it out of the box yet 🙄😬😉 I want to upcycle clothing with it but it's hard to learn a new machine. Took me 3 days to realize a touch screen on my embroidery machine, meant you had to actually TOUCH the screen to turn it on. 😂😂 LOVE your videos!
Take the serger outta the box!! Lol, that made me laugh because mine sat in the box for a month. Then sat on my sewing table for ANOTHER month. I saw a vid titled "Don't be afraid of your serger", that helped.
First I would like to say, that I am so thrilled to have found your videos 💃! This is the 3rd or 4th one that I have watched. And each one is very good and your bright and smiling face makes me smile too! Second, I want to say that I am a beginner and have only been sewing for about a year now. I can’t believe how much I enjoy it. I’m just sorry I didn’t start years ago, lol. Third, I have a couple of questions. I just bought my first serger. Which happens to be the exact same model that you are using in this video! The Brother 1034 dx, which I am just getting to know. But I really like it. Can you tell me, when you are using the gathering foot to add a ruffle to the flat piece, how much fabric do you need to use to make the ends equal at the end of the seam? Also, in the video you have a note stating that you secure your seam after serging (gathering) it, by straight stitching it on your sewing machine. Why is this necessary? Doesn’t the serger make a secure enough stitch? Or is it just personal preference? I too received those 3 feet with my machine so I want to use it correctly. Finally, how do you use the elastic foot for the serger? That is if one can be found to purchase. I have looked everywhere including Brother and can’t find one that is the correct model number for purchase. But if I do find one, I do want to be able to use it properly. I apologize for the long comment, I’m just very excited to have found your channel 🦋
Really useful. Who knew my server was so versatile?! I’ve been struggling with a rolled hem foot on my sewing machine for weeks - unsuccessfully. I’ll definitely be trying that on my serger and some of the other techniques. Thank you so much for your vlog 😀
I’m enjoying your tutorials. Thank you for sharing all you techniques. I would love to know how to get the pattern to the blouse you’re wearing in this video. Would you please share where I could get the pattern?
love love love this! I know my serger have them but well I only used lettuce hem once with my old one and wasn't impressed! I will be making some leggins soon so looking to check out this flatlock on my new serger :D thanks!
Hi Alissa just found your channel. Very helpful. I’ve done many rolled hems and tried them on some linen dinner napkins that I made. I did a terrible job of turning the corners. Can you show us how to turn corners using rolled hem technique, both inside corners and outside corners? Thank you.
Awesome video. Thank you. I wish it were possible to be able to machine gather on patterns that have a specific start and finish point for the gather, but the rest of this should help a lot in my sewing endeavors.
I use the rolled hem often as well, my Elna Dex actually has 2 rolled hem settings. I have never used my machine for gathering, not even sure I have the foot for it. I have never used serger for blind hem, I use my normal machine, but I do the flat lock. I definitely will do the pintuck method in future
I love your videos especially on how to use my serger. Do you have a pattern or a how-to video on the top you’re showing in this video that has the layered rolled hem sleeves. The top is white with black and pink flowers. It is beautiful!!!
I just bought this exact model a couple of days ago. I've lost over 100lbs and treated myself to my first serger. I've still got my original Kenmore sewing machine that I made my kids clothes on 40 years ago and my Brother embroidery machine that I used for my granddaughter. I always wanted a serger but never could justify buying one until now. This time is for me. Thank you for the tutorial. I've not unboxed it yet because I'm turning my spare room into a sewing room. Now I'm looking forward to using it. I'm going to practice these hems first.
Thank you for showing how to use a flatlock for a hem! By the way, I use more of an edge when making a blind hem so that I can cut more off without having to worry about where my needle is.
Thanks for this video. I'm just getting used to using my new serger. I've seen videos on mine and the different stitches it will do, It does the same things as yours does but it doesn't have the different feet. So far I've just got the threading down, adjusting for the different fabrics, I've just done the 4 thread so far. Your video has helped me a lot and given me courage to try the different things it will do. I've been watching the use of cover stitch machines, maybe after I get this serger down I will see about getting one. Here in Norway they are still very expensive, but I have found a used one that was only used 2 times. I think it is a Brother also. My serger is a Singer. After trying and working so hard on getting it threaded good, I really am interested in the Air threader machines. I want to start making my own underwear, and got a pattern to make a swim suit so I've really excited on getting more use of my serger.
Yeah!!! Finally a UA-cam that uses the same serger as what I have. Thank you!!!!
Sergers are a lot of fun, hope you enjoyed the video :)
I have never had a serger but watched and shared anyway.
Take pictures of the settings and the presser foot with your phone and the steps in between, then print them and put into a notebook. I work better with visual clues, so do this at work on my computer. This way, I don’t miss anything.
Awesome, thank you for sharing! You can probably even attach a tiny sample of fabric that it was used on, so that way in the future you know if it was lightweight or medium weight fabric and etc :)
@@ThoughtfulCreativity You’re up early. When I saw the video, I thought the posting was on a timer!
@@dale3404 Nooooo ;) he he, I am almost always here when the new video goes up :)
Brilliant! I document other things with my phone camera but didn’t think about this . Thank you.
Great advice ladies. Only just got my little Brother so very nervous lol xxx
Pintucks! What fun! Thanks again for the inspiration!
You should totally rename this "how to make sergers un-scary'. I've sampled a few different things with mine but I'm keen to try some more now, thank you.

Thankyou. You have given me back my trust to try and make friends with my serger again❤
I really enjoy your videos. Your presentation makes sewing less intimidating and for this 70 year old who just got back into sewing, it really helps me feel more confident! Thank you. ♥
Thank you for giving me courage to spend this day experimenting on my serger which has been woefully neglected on the far corner of my sewing table😊
I’m a 70 year old gramma, who is also sewing more of late! 🤗💜🇨🇦
My serger has been in the box for two years and I have no idea how to use it. This was very helpful to know what the serger can be used for.😊
Zelda, hello there and.... guess what I am going to say? :) Get that serger out of the box, look up a manual for it, get a big pile of fabric scraps and set aside a couple of hours and you will not regret it! You will love it!
Thank you for sharing, always be scared to venture into more of my serger, these tips certainly help.
Don't be scared! :) sergers can be different, but with the manual in hand and some scrap fabric (we all have that, right?) you can dedicate an hour or so just exploring what it can do for you. It is fun, enjoy! :)

I would love to see how you made the sleeves on your striped blouse. They are fun and elegant simultaneously.
I have a tutorial for it, posted about 5 months ago ;)
@@ThoughtfulCreativity thank you, I must have missed that one.
You always take the fear out of sewing! I’m committed to trying g the rolled hem on my Serger.
Very helpful thank you for this video.
This is the video I’ve needed for years! Thank you!
Love this video great🎉love your sleeves❤

I needed the reminder that my serger attaches ruffles while ruffling! I have some skirts that need to be made with that technique.
I just bought an overlocker! Thanks
Awesome video!
thak you! Ive joined your videos as I do own an overlocker but hardly use it...different brand but I'm sure I can still learn. You explain so well...thank you so mch, very encouraging..and I'm nearly 70 with 50 years sewing!
Thanks sooo very much for sharing these tips! Loved the video!❤️❤️❤️
Hallelujah, I have the exact same serger so I should definitely be able to do the same sewing!
And download the manual :) it has all the steps written down :)

Thank you for sharing, such valuable information about a serger. I had no clue that a serge could do so much. 😊
Thank you for your videos.... very encouraging. 🙂
Thanks so much for sharing this video, I've learnt a few things that I didn't know about. Also, UA-cam has stopped putting the videos at the corners, so when we look up we we don't see anything at all. Much love to you and yours.
I was ready to return this serger and this video changed my mind. I will look into other videos.
This video brought up every fear about adjusting my serger tension :-) I did love your beautiful examples
I own one of those sergers for almost 20 years now.1034 D A great serger for rolled hems
Not only do I love these great techniques, but I have the same exact serger model. I can follow the same settings that you demonstrate. Thank u.

@@sandyhamberger9312 Thank you. I have not been successful in finding a manual for my serger, but this advice might help someone else.
Oh, I dream about the serger! This is soo cool, I want it even more now!
Thank you so much for this video! It was VERY helpful! I love all of your videos! You are a great teacher!
I have that same serger and LOVE it!
Interesting and good to see visual instruction instead of reading it 🙂

Dedicate an hour or two, grab your serger manual and a pile of scraps and a sewing notebook too, to take notes, and experiment away :) have fun!
Thank you for another wonderful video!
Thankyou, Your lessons are so benefical. Learned to love my serger more...
I was gifted a serger a couple months ago…I’ve always wanted a serger But it sits unopened because I don’t know how to use it…this will be helpful!
That is awesome! Congratulations! Don't let it sit int he corner, with the manual in hand and a pile of scraps - play around and it see what it can do for you :) it will take a little bit of practice, but what doesn't, right? I am excited for You! :)
oh my gosh, i loved this video. flatlock is going to be my new go to finishing stitch. thanks, your content is great.
No less than, Excellent!! Thanks 🙏
I really liked the rolled hem. Very useful tips.
So many great tips as always!!! I will never understand why people are scared of sergers! I love mine so much!

Many sewing machine companies have half off sales for Mother’s Day.
Thank you for this tutorial I needed this I have gave up on my serger so many times im now going to be sewing every day 🎉🎉
Thank you kindly! I tried rolled hem today because of this, and it was so straightforward that I'm kicking myself for being so slow to try it. Certainly a new favourite in the répertoire!
Thank you so much for sharing these tips......much appreciated
Very good ❤
You made that look so easy. Thanks.
Thanks for another great video Alisa! My mom's old Bernette makes a lovely rolled hem - I should actually use it on more things! I also love using the serger for gathering (just with the normal pressure foot) because it goes so much quicker than the sewing machine, and I have less thread breakage.

I’m so excited to try all of these! Thank you!❤
My pleasure and have fun :) sewing is best when we are having fun :)
Thank you for this video! It really inspired me to use my serger in other ways.
I must say I have used the rolled foot attachment on my sewing machine on many types of projects.

Thank you. I've had my serger for years (Brother 1034D). Took the stitch finger off once. I need to try these techniques, especially the rolled hem as I want to make some scarves.
Thank you Alisa! I have the same serger and was afraid to use it. This has been so helpful. Love all your videos. 🤗❤🤓
WOW! Great info. Will be using my serger for more than straight seams from now on.
Some great ideas, thank you ❤
You are an absolute GEM! My t-shirt needed shortening and it already had a flat seam on it. I had no idea how to recreate it when your video came out. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!😃

Dear Alisa...I always learn something new with your videos...always inspirational with ideas to be more creative. Thank you.
Really useful. Who knew my server was so versatile?! I’ve been struggling with a rolled hem foot on my sewing machine for weeks - unsuccessfully. I’ll definitely be trying that on my serger and some of the other techniques. Thank you so much for your vlog 😀
I love your videos! I have an old simplicity serger from 1960 I think.
I’m enjoying your tutorials. Thank you for sharing all you techniques.
I would love to know how to get the pattern to the blouse you’re wearing in this video. Would you please share where I could get the pattern?
Great video, thank you!
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you take us all through the different uses with the serger. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
love love love this! I know my serger have them but well I only used lettuce hem once with my old one and wasn't impressed! I will be making some leggins soon so looking to check out this flatlock on my new serger :D thanks!
Hi Alissa just found your channel. Very helpful. I’ve done many rolled hems and tried them on some linen dinner napkins that I made. I did a terrible job of turning the corners. Can you show us how to turn corners using rolled hem technique, both inside corners and outside corners? Thank you.
I never even HEARD of a serger before! Have only heard of a sewing machine! 😮
Awesome video. Thank you. I wish it were possible to be able to machine gather on patterns that have a specific start and finish point for the gather, but the rest of this should help a lot in my sewing endeavors.
I love your channel and it helps I have the same machines you do 😁
❤ thank you ❤️
I use the rolled hem often as well, my Elna Dex actually has 2 rolled hem settings. I have never used my machine for gathering, not even sure I have the foot for it. I have never used serger for blind hem, I use my normal machine, but I do the flat lock. I definitely will do the pintuck method in future
I love your videos especially on how to use my serger. Do you have a pattern or a how-to video on the top you’re showing in this video that has the layered rolled hem sleeves. The top is white with black and pink flowers. It is beautiful!!!
Gail, hello there :) open the description of this video - you will see all links there.
Another fabulous video, so easy to understand ❤
I love the sleeves elastic in your shirt. I’d there a pattern for it?
I just bought this exact model a couple of days ago. I've lost over 100lbs and treated myself to my first serger. I've still got my original Kenmore sewing machine that I made my kids clothes on 40 years ago and my Brother embroidery machine that I used for my granddaughter. I always wanted a serger but never could justify buying one until now. This time is for me. Thank you for the tutorial. I've not unboxed it yet because I'm turning my spare room into a sewing room. Now I'm looking forward to using it. I'm going to practice these hems first.
I got so many compliments on my sewing once I bought a serger. You will LOVE it! Sewing aching stores often have free classes that are great.
By the way, there are lots of great free patterns like Love Notions Laundry Day Dress, and the Fabric Store’s patterns
The Babylock Bictory makes a rolled hem with a turn of 2 buttons, easy.
Victory!
Thank you for showing how to use a flatlock for a hem! By the way, I use more of an edge when making a blind hem so that I can cut more off without having to worry about where my needle is.
Thanks for this video. I'm just getting used to using my new serger. I've seen videos on mine and the different stitches it will do, It does the same things as yours does but it doesn't have the different feet. So far I've just got the threading down, adjusting for the different fabrics, I've just done the 4 thread so far. Your video has helped me a lot and given me courage to try the different things it will do. I've been watching the use of cover stitch machines, maybe after I get this serger down I will see about getting one. Here in Norway they are still very expensive, but I have found a used one that was only used 2 times. I think it is a Brother also. My serger is a Singer. After trying and working so hard on getting it threaded good, I really am interested in the Air threader machines. I want to start making my own underwear, and got a pattern to make a swim suit so I've really excited on getting more use of my serger.
