Terrific technique Gail! I haven't been so excited about a serger since I bought my first one 35 years ago.
Hi Lynne,
Sergers are a whole new machine from 35 years ago. Air threading is probably the biggest leap forward but the number and variety of decorative threads you can use on a serger has multiplied exponentially. It makes using a serger so much fun and I'm glad you're excited too. Keep me posted on your creations, enjoy the fringe technique and thanks for watching!
I’ve been sewing for decades. At first, I was skeptical about this: “Decorative fringe edgings on a serger?”
I’m now a true believer! I love the combination of the fringe with hand-look decorative sewing machine stitches. Keep pushing us beyond our comfort zones! Thank you, Gail!
Hi Jim,
Glad you're on board with fringe. It's an amazing technique and adds so much to projects. Plus you can customize the colors. Thanks for watching!
I’ve made fringe with my Bernina sewing machine and now I will have to try on my serger, which is a BabyLock. Hope I can do it! Fringe seems to be “in” this season.
@@janicekoropoulis6195 Hi Janice, Let me know how you do. Your fringe won't be quite as long because the maximum stitch width on Babylock sergers is 7.5, but t will still look good. Thanks for watching.
@@GailPatriceDesign well now that makes me want a Bernina serger 🙃
@@janicekoropoulis6195 Hi Janice, test drive an L890. I think you’ll love it. Thanks for watching!
Hi Gail, I got the fringe working on my Ovation. Yay! I do like the longer length on the Bernina though. I also played with #7 foot on my 790Pro to make fringe with the thicker thread. That worked well. Fun times!
Hi Janice- Yay! The more you experiment the more you learn. So keep up the great work and update me. Thanks!
Gail this is absolutely stunning - loving my L890 and making all of these cool stitches!
Who knew you could create fringe on a serger? It's so cool and not difficult at all. Thanks for watching Lynn.
You are so talented and creative! Thanks for sharing 🥰
Thanks Jolene. Great sergers and sewing machines make being creative and experimenting with new techniques fun . Glad you enjoyed the post and thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips.
How fun!
Another example of the creative techniques a serger can do!
Wonderfully creative!
Thanks Evelyn. It's a fun and beautiful totally different serger technique-Enjoy!
Wow my serger doesn't have any of these applications I wish it did in the process of making table napkins and linens to sell for the holidays those techniques would take my items even more towards the higher end I look I love Thanks for sharing
Hi Elizabeth,Myott can fringe the fabric edges of the napkins by pulling threads then securing with a narrow zigzag. But if you need help with other techniques that you want to try, let me know and I’ll help you. Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
WOW Gail that is fantastic thank you for re sharing
Thanks for watching, Irma. It's a fun technique and you can color customize fringe for every project!
OMG!! You are absolutely amazing! That is just gorgeous!
Hi Mary Jo, thanks for the nice compliment but the L890 is even more amazing. Because you can control the thread while stitching, it opens up so many creative possibilities. Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
Wow that's so pretty. Thanks Gail!
You're welcome, Kim. Hope you try out this technique-it's fun and pretty. Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
Always interesting!
Thanks for watching, Janice!
Great video, my sewing machine isn’t in service currently, so I’m trying to get reacquainted with my serger. Thank you!
Hi Fresh Turnips, As you are getting reacquainted with your serger, let me know if you have questions and I'll help you! Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
Great video. Hope I can do this on my Babylock serger.
Hi Lynn, let us know the results. It’s always fun to try a new technique. Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
Great idea! Now to figure out if I can bypass the air thread on my Janome
Hi Faviola, Here's a link to learn how to use a thread cradle for thick decorative threads: ua-cam.com/video/iRAW80rgSeI/v-deo.html. the fringe technique is very cool and a fun embellishment. Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
@@GailPatriceDesign thanks, you’re full of good helps!
@@faviolamartinezsewdigitizing Thanks- Happy holidays to you and your family!
❤️
Thanks Gail! You're still as informative as ever, I feel as if I can now try this on my BL Ovation. Will it work, and would you be prepared to give me tips, please?
Yes select the 2- thread wrap stitch and if you need help, let me know. Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips Bernice!
Hi Gail, I selected the 2 thread ladder stitch, results OK so far. Thank you!
@@bernicecloete4245 Select the 2-thread wrapped overlock stitch, not the ladder stitch. Let me know if that works better and thanks for watching!
@@GailPatriceDesign I'll have to find the 2 thread wrap stitch on my Babylock Ovation😏 but perhaps I can work out tension settings etc to get a 2 thread wrap stitch. Can you perhaps help, or guide me?
@@bernicecloete4245 Check pages 35 and 36 in your Ovation manual. Keep stitch selector on A, thread Left overlock needle and lower looper. Engage subsidiary looper. You will have to test stitch length and DF according to the thread you are using. Hope that helps.
This is very beautiful; thank you. :-) I also have the Triumph and saw your reply regarding the tension. I was not sure where in the video you adjusted the tension - could you guide me please or maybe I need to understand a bit more why the Triumph with auto tension cannot be used?
Hi Merete, You probably can use the Triumph for the fringe technique. It is a 2-thread stitch so you will look up how to do a 2-thread wrap stitch in your Quick Threading Guide. Because the Triumph has auto tension settings, you won't adjust the settings by number but there is a small dial inside the machine to do some fine tuning. (Check your manual for where it is.) This dial might help the cause. I think you'll be able to get a nice result with some testing and samples. Let me know if you need help and I'll be glad to hear from you. Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
Thank you again - I will check this out using the Triumph.😊
@@mereterasmussen2073 Keep me posted!
Wow! So so pretty. Thank you for this wonderful video. I have not used any Serger yet but thinking about getting one and I am so thankfull for all your great tips. Thank you! I have one question. I love that last sample from your video with the narrow coverstitch in blue thread. Could I cut away the left over fabric from behind that fringe or would I need to leave it there ?
Hi Gabi, that’s an excellent question. Yes, you could cut away the fabric (very carefully) or press the folded edge close to the needle stitching line. I didn’t show that but should have mentioned it at the end. You could also begin stitching closer to the folded edge, but I like to have a bit more “insurance” space in case the stitching is a little crooked. Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
Wow thank you. When you are doing the 2 thread stitch to form the loops do you have your knife engaged?
Hi Amanda, yes the knife was engaged , but at most I just skimmed off the whiskers on the fabric edge. But you can stitch with the knife locked as well.Thanks for watching-it’s a cool technique, isn’t it?
@@GailPatriceDesign Thank you 😊
@@amandarossouw493 You're welcome!
Hi Gail.. I did the fringe technique with the stocking class and I was confused about a couple of things: a) I wanted the loops but got the cut ends. So, apparently I was snipping too far to one side of the machine zig-zag, right? b) did you zigzag right side up, or down?
Also, having the same machine as you were using, I spent some time trying to find the same stitch as I was seeing on your screen. For example REVERSE FLATLOCK. It took me awhile to realize that you must have saved those settings as a new name, right? I thought I'd shave a few seconds off here and there, but actually get lost a couple times looking, lol. This machine is wonderful, but I'm still a very new owner. Haven't embraced all the bells and whistles yet 😀
Thanks for your wisdom...D
Hi Denise, the fringe technique is done with the fabric right side up. You might have snipped the thread a bit close to the the loops and snipped them too. But no big deal. The reverse Flatlock is stitch #11-the Flatlock wide. But because the decorative thread is in a topstitch needle and you’re stitching right sides together, the ladders appear on the fabric right side. In the class I showed adjusting the needle tension to 1 and increasing the lower looper tension to 9. Check out my Fringe Serger Tip Clip on UA-cam for a longer tutorial on the technique. It will help you. I would love to see your stocking too. Send a pic if you have time. Also, whenever you are lost or need some help, just email me and I’ll be delighted to hear from you. I really mean it. The L890 is an amazing machine and you should get the full benefit of all it can do. So reach out when you need a hand! Thanks for taking the class and have a lovely holiday season! Xo, Gail
I tried this and became frustrated with exactly where to put the sewing machine zigzag stitch. I got it to work but the original needle thread shows in the top. I’m afraid to make that thread match because then I wouldn’t know which thread to cut. Any suggestions?
Hi Anne, that's exactly why i have a decorative stitch across the top edge of the fringe. It hides the sewing machine stitch. And you're right. If the sewing machine thread matches the serger needle thread, it's impossible to tell which is which. And by stitching decoratively across the fringe top edge, it makes it look almost like a piece of trim. Let me know if you have more questions and thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
This is all well and good but I don't have this brand of serger.
If you have a serger that has a 2-thread stitch (you’ll need that upper looper converter) you can certainly try it. You might have to test tension settings as all machines are different. But follow the same steps. It might work well on your brand serger. Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
@@GailPatriceDesign My Pfaff can do this. Sorry I was impatient while you threaded your serger.
@@mardellgrayhek9958 great news-Thanks for letting me know. Now there’s one more stitch to have fun with on projects!
Do you know if the Baby Lock Triumph does this stitch?
Hi Joann, I think the Triumph has a 2-thread wrap overlock stitch, but you can’t adjust the tensions. You might still be able to create fringe without tension adjustments but it might not look quite the same. If you try it, let all us know how it looks and post a pic if possible. It’s a very nifty technique and thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
Wow cool. Can I do this also with the Babylock Acclaim, how are there the settings pls?
Hi Kia, Yes, the fringe technique is super cool and makes a great trim for all types of projects. You have a subsidiary looper on your Acclaim, so you probably can do it. Check your threading guide sheet for a 2-thread wrapped stitch. I don't have an Acclaim so I don't know the settings. But the decorative thread is in the lower looper and matching cone thread in the left needle. You may need to test settings for the best result. Let me know if you need more help and thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
@@GailPatriceDesign Hi :-) Thank you for your answer. Is this the 2tread blanket stitch what you mean?
@@kiaonyx6380 hi Kia, no, it’s not the blanket stitch. The blanket stitch is basically a 2-thread reverse flatlock. Look on the threading guide under 2 thread stitches for a “wrap stitch.” Let me know what you find and we can go from there. Thanks and I’ll wait to hear from you..
@@GailPatriceDesign I can‘t find a stitch named 2thread wrapped stitch on the manual for Babylock Acclaim :-( I can only find a stitch rolled hem
@@kiaonyx6380 Hi Kia, I just did some online research on the Acclaim. Try the 2-thread overlock stitch with decorative thread in the lower looper and a short stitch length. Then follow the same steps as I mentioned in the Tip Clip. Let me know if that works well. Thanks and good luck!
