Hi Diana, you are such a ray of sunshine. I enjoy each one if your videos. I have this exact Serger I purchased 2 months ago. I will be honest it's scary. I'm going to watch your video, conquer my fears. Your the best. Thank you for all you do for us :)
I just got a serger from a serger from a friend, it was given to her by her MIL and she didnt how to thread it so she said for me to just take it! I'm so excited to have more finished edges and to try my hand sewing knits!
This is the BEST serger video I've seen so far. I'm going to get my serger out of the box where it's been for more than a year, and go for it! Thank you!!!
That was a really good lesson. I have a 5 thread serger that I purchased in 1990 and was so busy working overtime and another job along with my regular job that I never had time to learn how to use it. I have saved this to watch later, which means again and again, to become more familiar with my machine. I will make it a whole screen next time so I can see everything better. I have lots of scrap material that I have saved over the years to practice on so I will not be ruining any good material. Thank you so much for this lesson.
Wow! I’ve watched so many videos to try and help me thread my overlocker.....I just wish I’d seen yours first....it would have saved me so much time and aggravation! Thank you so much. 🥰 xxx
Thank you so much for the demonstration. Because you sew the Ellie and Mac patterns with the serger, I have bought a serger too! It’s not as easy as you make it seem, but I’m getting there! Thanks for all that you do! Have a wonderful day! ❤️🧵
Thank you for showing how to use i serger. I've been really wanting one. I have been nervous about having to rip out a seam. It's easy the way you did it. Very helpful
I have had my serger for 24 years now and just love it. When doing your videos you always say what type of fabric you are using. Could you possibly do a video on the different types of fabric and how you would differentiate them. So glad I found your site.
I’ve got the same serger for my birthday last May and I haven’t used it yet because it’s so intimidating! Thank you for your video but I wish you had zoomed in so we could see the threading process better.
I was so afraid to get a serger, but now I want one- but they are sold out so many places. Thanks for removing my fear & encouragement that I DO need one!!!
Thank you so much for doing this! I bought a server on sale several months ago & haven't had the nerve to start. I'm sure I will have to watch again as I begin, but now feel it's not such an impossibility to begin using it. Thanks again.
This is a nice entry to the serger. I would love to have an explanation of the other controls on the serger. I don't really know what to do with them and what they are for.
Sergers (also called overlockers) are mostly used to finish seams. Look at most of inner seams of your clothing especially knits and you'll see what looks like a zigzag stitch that covers the raw edges of the fabric and locks it in place. Sergers sew and cut the threads all at the same time. The hard part about them is threading (you can use 2-4 threads depending on the model).
thank you this was great ... i had no idea that i could disengage the blade. Do you have a video showing how to adjust your tension for this and your sewing machine? Also understanding what needles should be used with what fabric would be handy
Thank you Diana. I don’t use my serger nearly as often as I should, and I’m trying to rely on it more and more. Could you do a similar video for the Coverstitch machine?
Everyone makes it sound like threading sergers is difficult, but you made it extremely simple, thank you. Too bad I didn’t have this to watch last night when I used my serger for the first time 🤣🤣🤣 glad to know that I did it correctly. Thanks again
Diana - thank you for this video. You keep us calm about the serger. However, I have a different serger (Pfaff 4872 - 5 thread serger) and the order of threading is different, which is okay, but I am not yet comfortable with the threading. The main problem is I have just come back to sewing and I do not remember the threading lessons. I'll keep trying. Thanks again.
I’m subscribed and just purchased some patterns from your site today. Thank you for putting out this video! I’ve been wanting to get more familiar with my serger. I have the same one.
Thanks for the info! Im planning on buying a surger! Sewing is new for me so i have plenty of tips to learn! I only have a regular sewing machine for now.
Hi, I have the same Brother model and have never been able to disengage the cutter. Does the switch on your machine flip all the way to the left when you disengage, or just partially? Is there some sort of trick that I need to do first, or at the same time to get this switch to disengage the knives? Thanks so very much!
I've just discovered your videos. Love the idea of the wooly nylon thread. Would you buy this particular serger model again? I'm looking to replace my 30 year old White ~ Also, I've ordered my first Ellie & Mac patterns..can't wait to try one.
This is such a GREAT video. Thank you, Diana for doing this. You rock!!!!! I don’t have a serger, but I’m planning on getting the brother 1034D next week, so I’m very excited about this video. :))
Wooly nylon tread on the loppers was new to me 👍🏻 thanx you for this tip ❤️

Nice tip on the different thread for loopers. I have to try it
This is so helpful, I’m new to my serger. I’m getting obsessed with watching your tutorials 😊
I’m so happy that it helps
I can't believe how much owning a serger has improved my sewing! Once I got the hang of it, it's so easy to use!
I just got a Serger for my birthday! THAT WAS AN EXCELLENT TUTORIAL!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!! :-)
Yay!! 🎉
Just bought my first serger.Thank you for this video
Just got my first serger and I’m so excited to get started!!
I have that same serger, I got it last May for Mother's Day...I love it
This is the BEST serger video I've seen so far. I'm going to get my serger out of the box where it's been for more than a year, and go for it! Thank you!!!
I bought the same serger 1 week ago and I’ve used it everyday I love it!
Great beginner for serger-finally will set mine up and start today!

Got the same serger couple weeks ago and between busy and nervousness have yet to use it. Thanks for the video!
you have convinced me to get a serger. It looks like a time saver. I have to go over my seams with zig zag.
Wow! I’ve watched so many videos to try and help me thread my overlocker.....I just wish I’d seen yours first....it would have saved me so much time and aggravation! Thank you so much. 🥰 xxx
Excellent information. Thanks.
I have a brand new serger in box I got 1 year ago. This video was so helpful! I will be getting it out now
I, for one, needed this video. I have my brand new serger from several years ago still in the box. You've emboldened me with this video. Thank you.
I love your video's! Y'all are excellent mentors and have great tutorials! Thank you!
Susan Haberman, Thank you so much for watching! 😍 I am so glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
Thank you so much for the demonstration. Because you sew the Ellie and Mac patterns with the serger, I have bought a serger too! It’s not as easy as you make it seem, but I’m getting there! Thanks for all that you do! Have a wonderful day! ❤️🧵
Love the tip to use the vacuum to clean the serger!
I love your explanations. You simplify things so well. I have just bought some of your patterns and I am excited to try them out.
Wonderful! Thank you so much! 😁
I love the vacuum idea to clean, I've been using a make-up brush.
Great motivation to give my serger a good clean
Thank you for showing how to use i serger. I've been really wanting one. I have been nervous about having to rip out a seam. It's easy the way you did it. Very helpful
Very good, specific information. Thanks for sharing.
Love my Serger & it has definitely changed my sewing game. Love it.
Thank you for showing. I have a Juki. Very pleased with it. 🙂
I have a Juki also and very difficult to thread
Thanks, I’ve just bought a serger and haven’t used it yet so this video is really helpful.
Love my serger!! Thanks for this little tutorial
I have had my serger for 24 years now and just love it. When doing your videos you always say what type of fabric you are using. Could you possibly do a video on the different types of fabric and how you would differentiate them. So glad I found your site.
Helen Logan we actually have a getting to know your fabrics series that Sonia did! You might love it!
@@EllieandMacPatternsLLC Thank you
Really helpful to learn more about a serger! Thank you
I’ve had a serger for a couple of years now,still learning how to use it. Thanks for this video.
Just bought the same one because of you. I will be watching the threading again and again I’m sure. Love the videos and the ease of the patterns.
I’ve got the same serger for my birthday last May and I haven’t used it yet because it’s so intimidating! Thank you for your video but I wish you had zoomed in so we could see the threading process better.
i bought this 3 years ago and this is the 1st time I understood !!! Great job!
This is a nice review and encouragement for using the serger. I have 2, neither gets used as much as they should😁. Thanks
I was so afraid to get a serger, but now I want one- but they are sold out so many places. Thanks for removing my fear & encouragement that I DO need one!!!
Love my overlocker. I wouldn’t be sewing clothes without it. Thank you for the informative video. Love your videos
I got a server around Christmas time!! I have been using it and have been using a brush to clean out the fuzzy insides but the vacuum tip is awesome!!
Thank you so much for doing this! I bought a server on sale several months ago & haven't had the nerve to start. I'm sure I will have to watch again as I begin, but now feel it's not such an impossibility to begin using it. Thanks again.
This is the same serger that I have. Thank you for the tips! Happy sewing :)
Thanks for showing info on a serger. Didn’t know how it works.
Diana, how often do you change your serger needles? And what type do you use? (I have the same machine that you do). Thanks!
Thank you! I love my serger but have never changed the thread. Maybe now I will have confidence to put a different color in ☺️
I got this same serger for Christmas and I have been too intimidated to use it until now! Thank you for this video!💕
Thank you for this Diana. Had mine for a few months, but useful to see this.
The vacuum tip is great! I have been using the compressed air, but think I may try this instead. Thank you!
Halo Diana very often I use hair spray on my fingers, regarding the light I just order it on Amazone. I order a led light. I have the same serger.
Sergers really help improve and speed up sewing projects.
This video was so helpful; I just unboxed my first serger & was struggling with threading it. Thank you Diana! ♥️
Thanks for sharing, I can use more beginner tips on using my serger:)

Awesome video. I need to rethread my serger now.

Love this video! I have the same serger it has been sitting in the box for months 😩
Thanks so much all your hints really help
I already subscribed I want to comment for the drawing. I love your patterns, I like the simple looks and add accessories.
Thank you Diana. I don’t use my serger nearly as often as I should, and I’m trying to rely on it more and more. Could you do a similar video for the Coverstitch machine?
Kathy Mattern there is a new video up for a coverstitch now 😉
This was so helpful. Thank you.
Everyone makes it sound like threading sergers is difficult, but you made it extremely simple, thank you. Too bad I didn’t have this to watch last night when I used my serger for the first time 🤣🤣🤣 glad to know that I did it correctly. Thanks again
Super Helpful. I just purchased the same project :)
Thank you for sharing this video. I have a new overlocker that's been sitting in it's box for months. Definitely need to give it a try.
Thank you! Great info!
Thank you! This was really helpful in helping me to understand my serger! Going to go and make something!!
I’m so glad

Just got my overlockers and this was so useful

I’m subscribed and just purchased some patterns from your site today. Thank you for putting out this video! I’ve been wanting to get more familiar with my serger. I have the same one.
This is very informative,thanks for this
I bought a set of tiny attachments for my vacuum to use to clean, I think they are normally for cleaning computers.
JAN CRAWFORD great idea!!
Thanks! I'm definitely looking to get one. Not sure if I want the brother 1034d or 1034dx.
Thanks for the info! Im planning on buying a surger! Sewing is new for me so i have plenty of tips to learn! I only have a regular sewing machine for now.
I've had that same serger for years and I still learned some things from your tutorial. Good job! I can't wait to try the woolly nylon.
Thank you for going over this serger, I have the same model. I just can't get past the threading it. It is so hard for me. You make it look simple.
Janet Rettig take it slow, you can do it!! ❤️
i need a serger! thanks for the tips!
You are so welcome!
I've been thinking of getting one. Thanks for the information!
I use it you do! I've got almost the same serger.
Hi, I have the same Brother model and have never been able to disengage the cutter.
Does the switch on your machine flip all the way to the left when you disengage, or just partially? Is there some sort of trick that I need to do first, or at the same time to get this switch to disengage the knives?
Thanks so very much!
I need to get one!
You made it looks so easy. Can you join the old thread to the new and just pull it straight through without having to re-thread at all. Thank you
I hate threading my serger, but I love having it!
What kind of needles do you use on your Serger? And where do you by the wooly nylon thread?
I have a Kenmore serger that looks very similar. I could use some tips.
I've just discovered your videos. Love the idea of the wooly nylon thread. Would you buy this particular serger model again? I'm looking to replace my 30 year old White ~ Also, I've ordered my first Ellie & Mac patterns..can't wait to try one.
Very helpful,thanks.
I have that same serger! But I do have a question about how one starts serging in the middle (as for the socks).
Thank you so very much. Now can we do the coverstitch.
Yes it’s not I love mine 😍. Now I just need a Cover stitch machine
Very helpful information. Can you show us a rolled hem.? Thanks
Thanks for the video!
Excellent
I have a server and thank you I’ll now be using it more regularly.
Thank you so much! Gracias.
Great video! Thanks for sharing ❤️
This is such a GREAT video. Thank you, Diana for doing this. You rock!!!!! I don’t have a serger, but I’m planning on getting the brother 1034D next week, so I’m very excited about this video. :))
I have a singer serger I got for Christmas used it but I have a problem with the stitching staying close to the seam they kind of loop out too much
That was awesome excellent again.
