My goodness!!!! Once again you are such an inspiration and make serging seem so simple. A for sure technique I will be sharing and teaching. Many, many thanks to you🥰
Hi Bernice, your Babylock serger is an excellent machine and capable of loads of stitches. You just can’t adjust tensions. I’ll always be happy to help you no matter what brand you have for a serger. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Gail for another informative video! How would you do corners, such as in a placement, with the narrow wrapped edge? I think it would be a beautiful edge.
@@barbaramason7636 Hi Barbara, do the wrapped edge in the same way as a rolled hem-one edge at a time. Chain off at the end of each edge, cut the thread and begins the next edge. If you use a 12-wt or 8-wt thread, secure the ends with a dot of the original Super Glue (that dries clear). Fray Check isn’t strong enough for thick threads. Hope that helps and thanks for watching.
Thank you Gail! This looks amazing! Question: Will the cording foot on the Triumph do the same with the stitch selections? I always look forward to your new videos!
Hi, you can use the cording foot on the Triumph. Set your stitch selector on “D” and thread your machine for a 2-thread stitch (as seen in the Tip Clip.) After you make a sample, if you don’t think it looks perfect, then try the needle in the left position. The wrapped stitch is on the L890 is formed by high needle tension, but because the Triumph doesn’t have traditional tension adjustments , I’m thinking this through as I write and you’ll have to experiment because I’m not positive what will work best. Keep me updated so that we all benefit and thanks!
Because you don't have tension adjustments on the Triumph, set up your machine for a rolled hem stitch but put the needle in the left overlock position. That will give you the closest look.to the wrapped stitch. Thanks!
Wow!! I just found your site, it is so easy to flow your directions by video. I have a Baby Lock Evolve made around 2005. will your techniques work on it as well? Do you have other serger technique tutorials? I have the most trouble remembering how to thread it. any help you can give me will be appreciated. Thank you!!
Hi Betty, you can download the owner’s manual for your machine on Babylock.com. It will help you with threading. Or if you have a Quick Threading Guide, you can look up individual stitches. UA-cam.com/GailYellen has over 100 Serger Tip Clips and many of them are done on either an Ovation or Triumph. When you subscribe (it’s free), you’ll receive notifications when I post a new Tip Clip. Please feel free to ask any questions and I’ll help you. Threading sergers takes practice but with air threading, the most difficult part is done! Thanks for contacting me.
You'll be able to create many of the overlock techniques. You can get a relatively good approximation of the wrapped stitch by setting your machine for a 3-thread rolled hem, but put your needle in the LEFT overlock position. Let me know if you have questions and thanks for watching!
Hi Amy, No, you don't want to use the piping foot for this stitch. If you're thinking of running the filler cord in the piping channel, it will be left of the needle. It has to be to the right of the needle in order for the stitch to encase it. You can use the standard clear foot but you'll have to watch the filer cord closely and guide it yourself. Let me know if you need more help and thanks for watching!
Hi Gail, If you have a narrow cover/chainstitch foot you can probably get a good result. Try to find a zipper with a wide zipper tape to give you a bit more room. But even if 1 needle is on the fabric and doesn't touch the tape, it will be secure. You want to keep the stitching straight and not have a jog in it as you approach the zipper stop. Let me know if that makes sense. Thanks!
i have made some beautiful placemats and was thinking it would be a wonderful edge, but what do I do about the corners. Any ideas? The placemats can have rounded or square corners. But my first try at it did not come out so good on the corners. But the straight is brilliant! Please help!
Hi Yolanda, you’ll probably get better square corners with the 2-thread wrapped stitch.Stitch one edge at a time, chain off and begin the next edge. Continuous corner are more challenging and you want nice, crisp edges. ( I always do sides individually.) Leave long enough tails on each corner and gently bury them under the stitches on the wrong side. I like to unravel the thread tails before hiding them to make them less bulky. You just need to hide about 1 1/2” and clip off the remainder of the tails. Let me know if you have more questions. Happy to help. You’re right, it’s a lovely edge stitch. Thanks for watching!
Hi Joyce, at each corner, chain off and cut the threads. If you stitch each side individually you’ll get much better, cleaner corners. Carefully tuck in the thread tails under the stitching. Hope that helps but if you have any questions, let me know. Thanks for watching!
Hi Sue, You can't adjust the tension on an Ovation but here's a work around. Set up for a 3-thread rolled hem BUT, put the needle in the LEFT overlock position. The needle thread will still be in the right needle threading route. It won't break your machine. I've done it lots of times.
The end result with the zipper is fantastic! Loved it! I'll be trying it out soon.
@@CaroCorral-tg5km It’s a very pretty way to add dimension to a zipper insertion and glad you liked it. Thanks for watching Caro!
Thank you Gail! Those finishes are beautiful! Love the zipper technique. It adds so much pizzazz to a project!
Thanks for watching Kim.
Thank you for this great video. I never thought that one could use a serger for zipper insertion. I learned a lot!
Hi Sus an, yes you can use it
Hit send by accident. You can use both Coverstitch and overlock methods. You need a piping foot for overlock. Thanks for watching!
The zipper insertion with this stitch is so rich. Thank you!❤️
It' adds dimension and makes the zipper insertion a decorative element rather than just a utility item. Thanks for watching!
My goodness!!!! Once again you are such an inspiration and make serging seem so simple. A for sure technique I will be sharing and teaching. Many, many thanks to you🥰
Thanks for watching and glad you like the stitch, Linda!
You are amazing, thank you!
I've had the 890 for almost a year and haven't turned on🤔
Hi Gail, you are absolutely amazing! I have learned so much from you. Cannot thank you enough
Hi Dorothy, thank you very much. I keep learning every day too!
Hi Gayle, this is so lovely and thank you for showing how to do it.
Thanks for watching and glad you like it!
Beautiful stitches and I love the zipper detail!
Thanks for watching Roxy!
I still watch you...even though I'm still a BABYLOCK fan.

Super helpful! Thanks.
@@carolehiggins5325 Hi Carole, glad the video was helpful and thanks for watching!
These are very beautiful! Thank you for sharing this variation of this stitch.❤️
Thanks for watching, Dottie and glad you like the stitch. I do too!
Awesome, very pretty, thanks as always for the lesson
Thanks for watching, Deborah!

I love this, can you show how to do this on a Triumph?

Hi Gail, I was wondering how this wrapped stitch could be used in garment sewing? Can it be a hem on a skirt or bottom of a sleeve? Thanks

Hoping to pick up my baby lock victory on Saturday. Have no idea if I’ll be able to implement any of your creative methods

@@GailPatriceDesign I will definitely keep you posted. I’ll just play around with the normal stitches first.
Thanks for demo. Can i use my piping foot that i have for my 860 bernina. ? What are the differences. ?

Is there some way to do the zipper insertion technique on a separating zipper where the end of the zipper needs to be above the bottom of the fabric?
Hi Gail, If you have a narrow cover/chainstitch foot you can probably get a good result. Try to find a zipper with a wide zipper tape to give you a bit more room.

Is the Serger Savvy live on this channel we are watching for serger tips? Thanks! Sue Cleek
Yes, it is! It is automatically recorded to my UA-cam channel so if you can't watch live, you can catch the recording.
How would you do a corner (outside) with this method.? Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
Hi Joyce, at each corner, chain off and cut the threads. If you stitch each side individually you’ll get much better, cleaner corners. Carefully tuck in the thread tails under the stitching. Hope that helps but if you have any questions, let me know. Thanks for watching!
Would I be able to do this on my Babylock Ovation using the cording foot and a rolled edge setting?
Hi Sue, You can't adjust the tension on an Ovation but here's a work around. Set up for a 3-thread rolled hem BUT, put the needle in the LEFT overlock position. The needle thread will still be in the right needle threading route. It won't break your machine. I've done it lots of times.
