    Thank you for this demonstration. I do have one suggestion -- I would have found the examples of the stitches more useful if they had been in a colour different than the fabric. I really couldn't see the differences with the white stitches on white fabric. I know that a person generally does use the same colour thread as fabric for ordinary use, but for a demonstration it would have been easier to see the differences if the thread had been another colour.

      Better yet, 4 different contrasting colors, so you can see all the separate threads.

    Thank you for demonstrating your over locker, I have just purchased the same make of machine as yours, I found your video very informative as I don't always find reading a manual is always that good at explaining things, I really purchased the machine to do rolled hems, which you made so simple to do, thank you so much for taking the time to produce this video.

      Me too. I’m autistic so I hope this comment isn’t inappropriate (I’m never sure) but it might be worth mentioning if YOU can’t do something due to your disability that you qualify that. I heard you say “ you disengage that but I’m not going to because it’s so difficult to put back.. or words to that effect and I started to panic I’d bought a rubbish machine but I kept watching and realised it wasn’t the machine per se but how awkward it is to do with just one hand. Ryan… I applaud you. We struggle with 2 and you just get on with it. Good lad. (I’m 67 so I CAN say that). I learned SOOOO much by watching to the end. Thank you so much.

    Thank you so much. I'm just getting used to an overlocker, so far I've learned how to thread and use the basic 4 thread stitches. I still get very confused by the settings, making it more narrow or wider and getting the chain to look correct. Mine didn't come with a book so I'm having to use the net to learn. I'm so glad that I found you.

    Really great information Thankyou so much, I’ve had a overlocker for at least 8 years & never used it because it just looked too complicated & I hate reading 🤦🏻 on the other hand my sewing machine it’s made it’s money back a thousand times in alterations I can do almost anything on that, 🤔 not so good on stretch material though because obviously when it is stretched after sewing the thread can break 😤

    My iPad must be reading my mind because I was just about to write a comment on the video I watched yesterday , which was most helpful on how to thread the machine. There was emphasis on the four different colours to follow. It would have been even better if the colours matched the machines colours used to guide with the threading . Looking foreword to see more videos.

  • @angelsgranny
    @angelsgranny 3 роки тому +2

    I've never actually seen these machines before, so I know nothing about how to use them. Someone recently gave me a used one (with no manual). My friend's son found one online & got it threaded for me, because the instructions are too small for any human to read -or- get badly distorted if enlarged.
    Frustrating.
    So I'm here to learn the basics before I begin my first project.
    Your video was very helpful - Thank you!
    (May I request a contrast of colors between the thread & material for your future videos?) Evidently my eyes are old and tired, as it's hard to see the stitches in this one.
    Subscribing because you're a wonderful teacher!

    Hi Ryan, loved this video, I’ve always had problems understanding written instructions, I prefer someone to explaining and show how to work things. I happen to have this same overlocker. So I can use a lot of information, and get more out of it. So thank you 😊

    Awesome tutorial Ryan, thank you so much...!
    I've just been given the same overlocker that you are using, so I guess it's time to learn...! You've just got another subscriber, keep up the good work...😉
