I can't believe how easy you are, it makes learning lighter and easy, thank you to the max dear.🌹sending hugs from Ashcroft
I'm taking apart a dress with an unusual style but awful fabric that my sister sent; she had a cute one I admired so she sent this more as a pattern than as a garment. The whole thing is serged, even the edges of the facings! I knew you would have the answer to picking all this, I don't want to lose the edges and seam allowances. Thanks, Catherine, you have saved me hours!!
How amazing... and humiliating. I have been sewing since I was 10 but sadly it was not taught at my school and just muddled through i am now 71 and still didn't know some of these! I do miss the comforting rhythm of a treadle sewing machine!
Hi. I've been sewing for years but this really help me with the ones I didn't know, about and you made it fun and interesting ṭoo.ty
I've been sewing for years and I never knew how to unpick my serger threads correctly. Thanks for helping!
Yay! I'm so glad you found that helpful! Thanks ML!
@@CatherineSews I never even knew what a serger was.
I have loved Clover since I first met the brand about 40 years ago on Okinawa, Japan, I still have this seam ripper, and it is still the sharpest among many! (Love their other items too! Glass head pins!)
I 2 methods I use. The 1st one specifically for cotton: Hold the sides together puching the seam ripper through. The 2nd: use the seam ripper to cuts in the bobbin thread every 2-3 inches (some fabric you can go farther) get the thread out anout .5" and finish pulling with needle node pliers. This is my favorite bacause there is less wear on my hands and it is fast.
Thank you for showing how to undo the serger thread.
Great video!
Method #1 is usually best for quilters. A little piece of masking tape wrapped around your finger makes quick work of picking up the little bits of thread. Would work on method #4 as well.
Thank you for the video. After an hour and a half of picking one pillow apart, I saw your video and I did two in half that time! You saved me so much time. Thank you!
As always, comprehensive teaching!
I have amassed a pile of projects that need unpicking, a serged top made of both princess seams and inset triangles and an 8 point star with y seams. I have been procrastinating both and questioning whether it was easier to begin anew. Your video has convinced me to give both a go! Thanks so much!
Another very useful video for sewists at all levels of competence. 💃 Thank you Catherine.
I love videos like this one, short intro, good clear comprehensive information with no side stories. I loved your how to resize a T-Shirt video too but I was cross stitching and didn't have a chance to comment. But I did subscribe.
My son got me a custom made seam ripper. It's 2 different sizes on each end. Made out of wood. He was looking at pens, etc. The man who makes them told my son he would give him 1 if he could tell him what it was, he was around 18 , the man and others were shocked he knew what it was. lol
Wow🎉😮 what a helpful video!
Great methods; thanks for sharing! I’ve also used a flat razor blade when the seams can be pulled open. It is dangerous & can easily cut fabric. My mom used that method a lot but was very adept at using a razor blade! 🤗
Your first method, where you are left with those short threads ? That's where i use an eraser...pulls those threads fast 😊 Greetings , Marion 🦋
I just bought a serger and have been nervous about ever needing to unpick. Thanks to you I feel confident about it!
Congrats on getting a serger! Your skills will go to the next level!! And it really isn't bad to unpick it. Just pull those two needle threads and it all unravels!
Use a lint roller to pick up all those stray little threads.
If you hate picking out the little bits of thread, you can use a lint roller or a pencil eraser to pull them out.
That was excellent!
I love your ripping tips.
Great topic, thanks 👍
#7 is golden!
I really needed the serger unpicking method. I have been getting very frustrated trying to unpick serging on thrifted garments. Thank you! I have only ever sewn on a vintage straight stitch Singer machine so I have no experience with serging.
I'm so happy if that helped you! Keep on thrifting!
This was awesome. Txs so very much. I’m so happy to have found your channel 👏👍🏼
Thank you, another lesson learned.
❤️❤️❤️
Use masking tape to pick up the leftover bits of thread
I tried to describe this so found a quickie video showing another way to use a seam ripper! Love your videos! ua-cam.com/video/Qq5IpuF2NOo/v-deo.html
Oh, funny, that's exactly what I do at 4:48!
#2 you only need to cut a couple of threads, then open the seam and run your seam ripper along with the red bulb underneath the thread ... then carefully zip right along those stitches that you are opening in-between the two pieces of fabric. Your #3 way is faaar tooo harsh not on your fingers, but more importantly, on your fabric, especially if it's a lightweight fabric. I can't believe that you were actually taught to do that in ANY supposedly professional sewing school! IF you unpick on the #2 way, use a toothbrush or eraser to remove the little bits of the chain loops ... it's not hard! May i suggest that you watch a few UA-cam videos about how the professionals do these thingd. 😢
Why so rude?
If you bothered to watch other videos Catherine has produced, you would realise that she is a professional. So knowledgeable and logical. I value her suggestions and hints.
