    Wow! I’m so new to sergers, I had no idea they could sew stitches like this! I’ll have to try making myself some workout apparel with my new serger.

    Phenomenal video. I was just about to start working on this pattern and had planned to use my serger but it never even occurred to me to use a flatlock stitch. Brilliant!! Would love to see a video for the activewear top for this pattern.

    Now that you had these leggings for awhile, how well did the 2-thread flatlock stitch hold up in this application?

    • @koalasez1200
      @koalasez1200 4 роки тому

      I've always seen them done with a 3 or 4 thread seam so nothing rips apart [w/4 thread better but not quite as stretchy as 3].

    Thanks so much Erica for this tutorial 👍. I haven't seen anyone show that flat lock stitch so well and have wondered for a while how it was achieved. Can you tell me if all overlockers can do this stitch? I must experiment with my machine more...... 😊😘

    • @EricaBunker
      @EricaBunker  4 роки тому

      A sewing machine would defeat the purpose. The point of a flat lock stitch is to make sure that there are no seam allowances and everything is flat.
