Before this tutorial was even half way through, I placed my Amazon order for an overcast foot. This will do what my serger does without having to sew the seam in two steps on two machines. Thank you, Olga! Once again, another wonderful tip for us! :)
Thank you for your kind words, and I'm just delighted to hear that you're finding the tips useful. It's always great when you can find a tool that streamlines your process, and the overcast foot is definitely good for creating those serger-like edges without the extra steps.
I mean, if you don't sew, you don't know the nomenclature for the desired result using the correct presser foot. Over cast stitch....#22 on my Brother XR3774. I'm new at this. Thanks again
I am so glad I just now found your channel. You have explained each foot so anyone can understand. I love that I do not have to get a serger machine since I do not have to serge a lot but may start.!! Thank for for the patience you have.
I love the fact that you take the time to explain not just what foot to use, but the details of the foot, how it works and why. That is such useful knowledge. Thank you! I am a new suscriber now ;p
Oh, wow I hope you have more videos! I think I may have to binge watch your stuff I just learned something new. I got all these presser feet and no clue how to use them. I self-taught so this is huge. Many thanks!
Thank you very much for your interest in my UA-cam videos. I truly appreciate your support and am glad to hear that they have been helpful to you. I do have an accent in English, so I hope you were able to understand what I was saying. Nevertheless, I'm happy that you enjoyed my content and found it valuable.
This is a great video. You do such a great job of teaching! I have learned quite a bit because I like to make shirts for myself. Learning how to use the presser feet is such a help. Great job! I am subscribing because you have so much good information, without wasting time. I have a Janome Memory Craft 9000, along with 13 other machines! LOL! It's nice to learn how to operate them and take advantage of all they have to offer.
Thank you for your sweet note! I have Janome 6600, and I love it. Yours is newer I guess. Janome brand is awesome! And you have 13 machines - I have about the same amount. Lol. Including sergers, embroidery, coverstitch. But I am not a professional seamstress, it is just my hobby.
Oh, happy to hear this! I know that most people just use one universal presser foot for everything (I myself was like this for years). Let's change this and use everything we have - to sew better, faster, finer...

Hi im a newbie and about to sew 2 way stretch Ponte Roma. Its quite thick though. It says to zigzag on the pattern but ive a G Foot for my Brother FS-40. Id prefer to overcast for a nicer finish. Im nervous as never used stretch fabric. Do i specifically need stretch needles please? You have given some excellent information here i have subscribed ❤
Cassie, can you show me how to sew somple gormal tops for office wear? I want to learn to sew them. Ok? In any of your wednesday videos? When possible. Ok? 🤗
Hi there, I appreciate that you take the time to allow us to understand what you are saying and doing. However, do you ever use the actual overcast stitches your machine has vs the zig-zag stitch?
I hope you have made many items by now and that you sew to a very good standard by now. I notice you posted your questions 3 years ago. I just replied to your previous question. Do remember that overlocking stitches on your sewing machine won't stop those fabrics that fray easily, such as denim, from fraying. It will still unravel. These stitches do not replace an overlocking machine whose stitches won't allow fabrics to fray. Overlockers do a better job on fraying fabrics. Also a sewing machine will finish seams at such a slow speed compared to the overlocker. The seam finishing on a sewing machine is sufficient on most fabrics that don't fray much. I don't own an overlocker anymore bcz I live in a town that doesn't sell those large woolly nylon cones. Pathetic really!
Is their a lighter weight thread to use...with all those stitches...when you iron the fabric on the right side... the impression of those stitches will show..right ?
there are many reasons for this. Do you use knit fabric? If yes, it's stretchy, but it most likely doesn't need overcasting. Do you use woven fabric? Then you need to finish the edge, but if the edge is cut on the bias it stretches. You can try to lengthen the stitch length. You can try to adjust the foot pressure for your fabric. Changing the thread to thinner one might help. You can try to press the edge after overcasting and if the stretching is not too big it will help.
AccuFeed on my Janome includes a foot plus other mechanisms which can be disengaged when not using the foot itself. It can be used with any stitch except buttonhole of course. I have a detailed description of it in my article about the Janome 6600 here www.ageberry.com/best-sewing-machine-advanced-sewers-janome-6600p/
Hi, starting at 7:36", you mention different settings for specific fabrics, the need to make certain changes. Well, in my opinion, it would be helpful to say what changes or adjustments you did in order for the stitch to come out ok...the novice sewer will be at aloss trying to figure out what you mean, what to do. I suppose it had to do with changing thread tension, needle, lenght of stitch, but would have liked to see examples. Sorry...just airing out my feelings on the matter.
If the fabric puckers, goes wavy, then you need to reduce the foot pressure. This should be on top left hand side of your machine. Not all machines come with a pressure dial these days. You can also lengthen the stitch length a little.
Unfortunately the overlocking stitching goes very slowly on a sewing machine, never anywhere as fast as an overlocker. Also for badly fraying fabrics, eg like denim, no overlocking stitch on a sewing machine will do a reasonable job. The fabric will just fray before your eyes. It works well on more stable fabrics, but not on others.
Thanks for sharing! Obviously a serger (overlocker) is much better at what it does, that is why the industry used it decades before it appeared for the home market. Anyone serious about sewing will need a serger too, but in a pinch, and because about half the people who sew do not own a serger, the sewing machine may offer a treasonable solution.

Very nice video, lots of details - Thank you!
Thank you! I am glad if it is useful.
Thank you so much for posting this video. I can now identify my overcast pressure foot.

All sewing machine feet are PRESSER feet, not pressure feet.

Hi there, I appreciate that you take the time to allow us to understand what you are saying and doing. However, do you ever use the actual overcast stitches your machine has vs the zig-zag stitch?
In your manual it should tell you which are utility stitches, which are embroidery stitches and which are overlocking stitches.
Nevermind...you are doing it now:)

I'm having trouble with my fabric edge gently fluting ( stretching) . Any suggestions?
there are many reasons for this. Do you use knit fabric? If yes, it's stretchy, but it most likely doesn't need overcasting. Do you use woven fabric?

Changing the thread to thinner one might help. You can try to press the edge after overcasting and if the stretching is not too big it will help.
Can the acufeed be engaged or can it only be used with a straight stitch? Which feet can be used when acufeed is engaged on this machine?
