    Wow, I’ve learned more in this video than in any online tutorial I have seen on UA-cam. There’s usually too much focus on the chit chat and less on the craft but yours is the opposite. So well demonstrated, I’m in love with your channel and am now a new subscriber!! ❤️

    I have been threading my tails under with a needle forever. Sincerely appreciate the tip that I can just sew them under when creating the stitches!

    My Mum gave me her overlocked and hadn’t been convinced of it’s use but after seeing this I will make an effort to use it more.

    What brilliant tips. I'm new to using an overlocker and I've always struggled with internal corners, being overly aware of the knife blade. I never thought to 'straighten' the material. Thank you so much.

    Really?? I didn’t know that trick for unpicking! That was great! I normally would take my seam ripper and snip the top threads but that takes forever. Certainly going to try this. Thanks!

    • @bobbinsandbuttons
      @bobbinsandbuttons  Рік тому +2

      A couple of people have commented you can just pull needle threads without cutting at all. Definitely worth trying, though I wonder if it works best on lighter fabric where thread is easy to grab.

      @@bobbinsandbuttons oh? Also didn’t know that. Seems a bit strange because looks to me normally you can not just pull out a needle thread from stitching. But I will try both for sure ! Thanks for the tip !! Any will certainly save tons of time( and annoyance 😉)

    You can also secure your ends too if you lift the foot, grab your project and flip it, then place it back down and you can essentially back stitch, and you veer off once you've done enough

    Also if you have long threads at the end you can separate them and tie them or tug on one of the threads and it will lock them together 😊

    For the bulk of the cuff seam I would not make the snip at the lower fold. This open end of the cuff eats a lot of wear pulling sleeve on and off or up the arm and down. I prefer to snip about 1-2 cms down from the sleeve end and on the inside of the sleeve. That way if it does happen to separate it won’t show.

    Unpicking is not fun. I have used my seam ripper to rip along the edge of the seam, cutting all the overlocker threads. After pulling out the two needle threads, use a sticky lint remover to pick up all those little thread pieces. Thank you for your tips.

    Hi Julia, thanks for the overlocker tips. I wish I knew about the cuff tip last week. I made a Toaster V1 Sweater and although it came out lovely now know how to reduce some of the bulk around that area. I will be applying it when I make my next sweatshirt using the same fabric you're wearing, which I brought from you. I'll look back on the sweatshirt tutorial for your tips. I've brought quite a few pieces from you and the quality is superb! Thank you.

    Trimming the seam to take out an overlocked seam is not the way to do it. Simply pull out the needle threads just like they were regular machine stitches. If using four threads, remove the inner needle stitching first, then the outer one. The looper threads will then just fall away. No mess and no loss of any seam allowances. So much easier!!

    To unpick - You should be able to grab the needle threads and pull them straight out then the looper threads will just unravel. It’s like magic

      Sounds easy enough but I'm new at using a serger and I can't get my head around which thread is needle and which is a looper. So cutting the material as described here has been great for me and then use a lint roller to remove the little threads left.
