Thank you so much for this video! I inherited this EXACT serger when my mom passed and have been struggling with the tension! This video series is a lifesaver! Thank you!
Thank you, I have spent hours and hours over many days trying to get the tension correct. This video is a godsend and makes so much sense. Thanks again 😊
You are fabulous. My singer was acting up and I wasn’t happy with the stitches. I did exactly as you said and it was fixed immediately. Thank you thank you. You saved me lots of headaches.
Thank you for this tutorial, it helped me understand that all sergers may not perform alike, and how to find that perfect coordination for any serger. I was, however, pretty dizzy from all the camera movement at the end, but I took notes and only need to watch it once and understand. Thanks again! :) UPDATE: This was such an excellent method to find the right tension on my machine, and I thank you once again VERY MUCH for your video, it worked out GREAT for me!! :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I bought a new serger and it started out sewing well, then it went bananas. I was getting ready to pack it up, when I decided to look for a tutorial to see if I could figure out the tension. Thanks a million, now I will be the serger.
i am new to serging and a little intimidated. You have help take away some of that fear. Finding the right tension has always been a mystery to me. Thank you for this video. It was very well done.
Excellent! Thank you! I’m finally serging again. I have an older Singer serger that I’ve never had good tensions. This took me a full day to do but is totally worth it. My tensions ended up at left needle 3.5, Right needle 4.5, Upper looper 6.25 and Lower looper 5.5. So it’s no wonder the factory settings never worked and my serging was awful. Everyone’s machine is sooo different! Again thank you! Oh and that all the other tensions are at 3 to start with really makes sense. Yeah!!
This is a great tutorial!!! I have been playing with tension and different thead types and always forget what settings work best with which threads!! Thank you so much 😊❤️
Thanks that's some great advice.... I just picked up a serger Pro .....never sewed in my life... this was an excellent tip and looking forward to watching more videos
This is excellent! I just purchased a preowned singer profinish and i am still tweeking the tensions. This is a really logical way to get perfect tension for each.
Thank you for your video. I think how you did the separate threads each on a sampler was great....trouble is with a serger, we have to change the tension, more often than not, for each type of different fabric we use....but, this is a great way to sort things out, to ensure our tension, and which needle/looper is causing an issue. Thank you very much.
Hi Dana, thank you so much for the serger tension lesson. My Singer ProFinish was given to me by a dear friend, and I have really struggled with it. Would you consider doing another video, showing how to make something/anything simple? Blessings to you and yours!
OMG I have played with the tension until I have a mess. This is the best explanation of how to adjust a serger. Thank you !!!!!

Thank you I am going to try this.
Great idea to concentrate on one thread at a time.
Tension adjusting is so confusing! Thanks!
Genius! Thank you
what a great way to do it!
Really clever way to set the tension, I'm going to try it today!
Great tip.
Thank you so much
This was very helpful. I wish you could hold the camera steadier.
A very useful and well explained video. The sound quality isn't great and filming is jumpy.
So to tighten its the lowest setting and to loosen its the higher settings? 😮 i thought it was the other way around
What are the side nob settings set too ??? 😱😭
wow thank you :)
Thanks
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What happened to GREEN TENSION?
What number was your differential feed set to and what was your stitch length set to?
Coming back a year later.......not many comments have a reply......🤔
The stitches are too tight and too close
It don't Do t😤
I guess I bought a really old Pfaff 4852 and can’t find a thing other than the useless instructions manual to thread it!!!! Frustrating
1:49 wait! Doesn’t she have this all backwards? Isn’t a higher number mean higher tension?
Boooooooo! 🤷♀️ 🙂
