Love your tips. Thanks
Jeanie Peterson you’re welcome and thanks for watching!
This is a fun technique-thanks for watching!
Thank you so much 😊😊
Love your videos I save them all. I do have a question . When using pin tucks do you serge them before cutting out the pattern of a garment and then line up the pattern where you want the pin tucks. or do you cut out the garment and then add the pin tucks and do you have to increase the size of the pattern. if so how much increase.
Hi Barbara, Glad the Tip clips are so helpful. Whether to stitch the pintucks first, then cut out the pattern piece may or may not be critical. I usually stitch the pintucks first, then cut out the pattern pice. That way it is the perfect size. On a loose, unstructured garment, if you are stitching just a few small tucks, you can probably do it after cutting the pattern piece. But if it's a close fitting piece or even on a tote pattern, if one piece has to fit another pattern piece exactly, create the pintuck(s) first, then cut the pattern piece. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
Hi could show u me how to use cover stitch in different way on clothes thank u
Can we use the wash away wonder tape instead of the Sticky Solvy wash away? Thank you!
Hi Pet, Give it a try. It will probably work, but don't stretch the wonder Tape when applying it. It is 1/4"-wide so there isn't as much width to wrap the fabric around while stitching. Let me know your results and thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
Thank you for all your great ideas both on UA-cam and Craftsy. I have a question...
I want to make vertical pintucks, on a light weight fabric, for a blouse, that are just fabric folds - not with the rolled edge finish. I have a pintuck foot using the coverlock portion of the ovation, but the seam created is quite loose on the back and my first rows of pintucks are loosening as I am completing the section with subsequent rows. I tightened the tension and made my stitch smaller - is there anything else I can do? Is there another technique I can do that would be more successful or should I go to my sewing machine and do it the old fashioned, tried and true way!
Hi Virginia, Glad you're enjoying the Tip Clips and my Craftsy classes-thanks for watching. On a lightweight blouse, I would create traditional pintucks on my sewing machine if the overlock rolled edge isn't what you want. For lots of fun ideas, take a peek at my Pinterest Board, "Serge Outside the Seams."
Thanks! I will use my sewing machine and have a peek at your Pinterest Board.
Hi! I’m trying to make pintucks that are like the vertical V ones on your thumbnail shirt, but i want to serger them so they are stretch. How do i do that?
The pintucks created in the video are done with a 3-thread rolled hem stitch (as shown). When the sticky wash away stabilizer is washed, it disappears and lets the fabric stretch as usual. The stabilizer is necessary to keep the fabric from stretching just while it's being stitched. It's a fantastic technique! Thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips and let me know if you have more questions!
Was the blade down? Great video.
HI Robin,
Because I used the blind hem foot, the flange or guide protected the fabric edge from the knife-it was not locked. If you don't have a blind hem foot, you can lock the blade but you have to be very careful to guide the fabric evenly as it feeds under the presser foot.
Glad you like the Tip Clip. It's a fantastic technique and the wash away stabilizer opens up all kinds of embellishing opportunities. Take a look at my Pinterest Board "Serge Outside the Seams" for lots of fun ideas and thanks for watching Serger Tip Clips!
How do you allow for the extra material needed/used when cutting out your pattern pieces?

That's a fantastic question! I cut a piece of fabric that's large enough to cut out the individual upper bodice and back triangle pattern pieces. But before cutting the pieces, I do all of the Embellishment stitching. That way I don't have to factor in any extra length or width and it makes positioning the stitching where I want it on the pieces. Let me know if you have more questions-thanks!
Can I use a regular foot and lock the blade to make a rolled hem?
Yes you can. Make a few practice pintucks to determine how far to the right or left the fabric fold should be. (You might want to mark a line with a piece of tape as a guide to keep each pintuck uniform.) Let me know how your pintucks come out and if you need more help. Thanks!

Do you leave the knife up for a reason? Can it be put down?
Hi Marion, When I use the blind hem foot, the guide on the foot protects the fabric from being cut by the knife. I'm not a big fan of disengaging the knife in overlock mode unless the operator is very careful not to let the fabric wander too far to the right. It can get tangled in the upper looper and cause a big boo boo. But if the operator is aware of keeping the fabric where it should be, then it's ok to disengage the knife.
