Tip: If you don't have a serger made of sturdy metal, make sure you place your serger on a rubber cutting matt so it cuts down on the noise of the vibration of the motor and also keeps the serger from breaking into a Watusi! 😊 Great tutorial, of course! All of your videos shine with your expertise and ability to make us smile while getting through the hurdles sewing takes us on sometimes! You're the BEST!🏆👍🏽💖🌟
You are the most precise individual ever, and I appreciate that so much! Thank you for speaking so clearly and putting everything into simple terms, and for slowing down and zooming in for reference! I want to give you a big hug right now, I swear.
I've been hand-stiching for many years and am finally moving into the more advanced parts of sewing and this video was great! Loved the vulgarity, it made the topic more approachable.
This was amazing for a newbie like myself. Bought a brand new serger from a Markeplace website a few weeks ago and had yet to even take it out of the box. I did feel a bit overwhelmed when I first bought it, not really knowing a lot about serving as I am also pretty new to sewing, but after watching this video I am ready and excited to set it up. Thank you so much for making such a basic, yet extremely easy to understand video!!!
There is a wee lilt on a few of her vowels that reminds me of a Newfoundland accent. Incredibly subtle though. I was thinking of buying a serger. I think I’ll just listen to her instead. 🔸
Outstanding video. The content is all there and I learned what I needed but the production! You pulled this whole thing off without a single "ummmm" or "ooooops" or any of the other silly crap most content creators offer. The volume, the synch, script, lighting. Just... Outstanding. Thanks for being born. 😂
Hi; Lori here. Thank you so much for your demonstration. I just got a new over locker serger. The book is not very illustrated and my machine did not have a piece of material but it was threaded and did have a tail. Worked till 2 of the threads broke down in the looper. I finally got it figured out. I wish the manuals had online sites like this one that can explain better. Thank you.
This is great! I got a serger a few weeks ago and I've been hoovering up all the serger videos I can find. It's been driving me nuts that nobody's mentioned what to do with the thread tails from a serger (they all seem to just trim them off and leave them dangling like a bunch of monsters). Definitely gonna give this a try once I get one of those needles.
Ever tried the spit on the back of the needle trick? Works like magic every time, just put a little moisture (spit or water lol) on the opposite end you are putting the thread through and then the thread will go through the needle hole much easier because the thread is attracted to the moisture on metal.
Thanks for the video. Since I've started threading my needles while wearing a jeweler's loupe, I no longer need the threading tool. The loupe makes it look like I'm putting a rope through a porthole. Super easy and the loupe lets me see if I've cut a clean end to the thread. A magnifying glass doesn't work because you need two hands. I use McMaster-Carr PN 13403T that I attach to my glasses. I can quickly swing it out of the way yet keep it on for when I need it.
🙃🙃🙃🤣🤣🤣😁😁😁 you are sooo amazing HUMBLE and "entertaining" I thought of the flight attendants with their crazy announcements. You made all your viewers SMILE 😁😁😁🌞🌞🌞. All your videos are exceptional and enjoyable. I love your voice. I had to watch your video two times cos the first time I burst into laughter and lost concentration. Thanks for making us smile. Thanks for sharing and caring. Big hugs. 😘 your fan from France. 👍👍👍🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾
Lo & behold at the older than dirt age, I have purchased a serger. Heaven help me. This was the best. Laid back and understandable. And it made me laugh which is very important when you're learning something new at the older than dirt stage. I may just turn "that little bastard" on now. ;)
yeay🤗 i missed you smarmy i love youre tutorials iam truly glad you came back my husband bought me a serger also for my birthday and so this tutorial came in handy yours awsome thank you and GOD bless you ☺
Holy crap! You're awesome. I just bought a serger and am not looking forward to re-threading it. But, I am definitely going to use your bad ass tie on technique. Thanks!
THANK GOD FINALLY, Somebody who speaks my language hahahahah I am so over watching all these Suzy Homemakers that are so peppy and are super sweet ugh SO ANNOYING!!! I've been trying to find somebody that just tells you how it is and totally found it... the little bastard... HAHAHA I LOVE IT, I def subscribed after this video... Thanks!!!
Great video----Serger videos are so hard to come by for some reason....for me its been a journey trying to figure things out (especially getting ideas on what all the serger can be used for...so I need to ask you to pleazzzeee do some videos/playists on things you use it for. Love your videos---you Always make me laugh---and you always teach me something I don't know---for example---I gave up on my serger needle threader thingy---but thanks to you now I know how to use it :-) Big Big Ups for that! Looking forward to seeing more of your work girly! Thanks for all you do! E.
Sergers are really ideal for stretch fabrics - the serged seam allows for way more stretch than a zig-zag stitch. T-shirts, bathing suits, lingerie, leggings, etc.
Hi what a great video! I want to buy a serger and was wondering if this machine can serge any material type? like jeans? Show us more serging videos when you can, it was great and very specific with the details.
Dear Smarmy. I have been fixing machines for over 40 years. Here is a tip for you. An easy way to thread needles. Remove the foot (button on the back of the foot.) Open the front cover. Easy threading. Great machine. Whitby Sewing Machine FB Pss . A good day is only a thought away. Have a good thought day. Paytair Bereczki
Whoa whoa whoa. What was that little twist you did with the threads with the yarn needle that got them through the eye of the needle. Just kept on rolling through video like, ain't no biggie. I say yes, it is in fact a biggie. Please explain yourself and your witchcraftery
Well dang... I'm not sure I even know what part you're talking about. I guess I do tend to roll/twist the threads together so they are easier to get through the eye of the needle.
Thank you for the lesson. Can you or someone tell me why the serge thread wraps itself around the metal and does not sew. It just gets jammed up, Any advice would help.
I am a bit of a collector when it comes to sewing machines, so I passed this one on to my sister-in-law. I highly recommend the Brother 1034D, especially if this is your first serger and have a limited budget. If you have more to spend I really love the Husqvarna sergers.
Metal sergers and sewing machines are considered "vintage", so check eBay, Craigslist, second-hand stores, church rummage sales, vintage sewing groups on Facebook. The older, non-plastic machines are the BEST!! I hope you find one and if it does not have a manual, spend time to research where to purchase one. Spend a few bucks for instructions because threading a serger goes in a very precise order, and all machines are similar but NOT alike! Good luck🍀!😊
I hate my serger. I honestly dont feel like i can control it no matter what i try. I've watched a million videos and i get it in principle but i just dont seem to be able to control it to just sew straight. Using the seam guides are useless as you can't really line up the edge accurately as the machine is so fast even when you are going slow. I feel so much more control over using a sewing machine but the serger is just crazy and i want to be good at it 😢
Hi Erica- It sounds like an issue with the differential feed. There should be a dial on the lower left side of the machine, numbered something like 0.7 through 2.0. It can take some practice to know what setting will be right for a particular fabric. But in general, if the fabric is bunching a little, lower the diff feed. And if it's getting stretched out, increase the diff feed. Hope that helps!
I'm not sure what you mean by "locked up," but if it's so jammed up that nothing will move, I would suggest finding a sewing machine repair service in your area. This sounds like more than your average troubleshooting issue.
When you said "you've threaded that little bastard" I was an instant subscriber 😂❤️
Me too

All instruction videos should be this fun to watch. You are awesome.
I've been hand-stiching for many years and am finally moving into the more advanced parts of sewing and this video was great! Loved the vulgarity, it made the topic more approachable.
Can you narrate every "how-to" video I search for?? Love the personality in this video!
Thanks for the tips! I bought a serger over a year ago and still have yet to use it. I loved your attitude btw!!! Subscribed
Love your explanations! Not only informative, but entertaining. Thank you!

Idk who you sound like but your voice is giving me a TON of nostalgia??
I thought I was the only one listening to her vocal tone lol
There is a wee lilt on a few of her vowels that reminds me of a Newfoundland accent. Incredibly subtle though.

Finally, someone else who calls their needles what they really are, little bastards. Very informative video. Thanks
This lady is awesome!! Love her very informative tutorials too!! Keep them coming.

Funny had the same problem with the ends.
Thank you. This is exactly the walk through, and tone, that I needed.
Ever tried the spit on the back of the needle trick? Works like magic every time, just put a little moisture (spit or water lol) on the opposite end you are putting the thread through and then the thread will go through the needle hole much easier because the thread is attracted to the moisture on metal.
Is it wrong that I can't wait to spit on my serger to try this out?
Wow, I never know you can hide the tail and always just trime them off! This is mind-opening
You are awesome. You r video relieved my mind and made me smile. Keep up the great work.
Nicely done! Easy to listen to and understand.
Thanks for the video.

You are kickass; EXCUSE MY FRENCH!
Thank you for this. Now I want to go home and give it a try!
Loving this information! Thank you!
Used should ask serger makers to do video instructions for the. Your voice is perfect. I'm still scared to try it...???
I luv the language its called fustration 😂😂thank u im looking at getting an overlocker but not goid at reading instructions.

Love this video! I like the commentary. :-)
Now I want one! Thank you
Thank You...will help me a lot.
Really great video and very informative. Also enjoy the sound of your voice.
Great video! I purchased a singer serger last year, looks very similar... Are you planning more videos on ways of using a serger?
Indubitably! I also try to make it a point to mention when a serger could be used in my "regular" videos.
Awesome, welcome back!
Thanks!
Thank you
Thank you.
Great video! Definitely a pleasant surprise, as it has been a while.
I know! I can't believe it was a year between videos. BAD SMARMY!
Well done.
Great video! Let's put my knew skills to work =)
Thank you much
Righteous!

Thank you for the lesson. Can you or someone tell me why the serge thread wraps itself around the metal and does not sew. It just gets jammed up, Any advice would help.
My first guess would be that something went wrong during the threading stage. They can be very fussy.
Wonder if you still use this serger? Also, if not what serger do you like to use?
I am a bit of a collector when it comes to sewing machines, so I passed this one on to my sister-in-law. I highly recommend the Brother 1034D, especially if this is your first serger and have a limited budget. If you have more to spend I really love the Husqvarna sergers.
"u threaded that little bastard" to funny
This machine is almost an exact copy of white 2000ATS serger made between 1995-2000
Where is this serger sold? I definitely couldn't find it on Amazon.
I don't think they make it anymore, unfortunately.

Can it sew all fabric?
I hate my serger. I honestly dont feel like i can control it no matter what i try. I've watched a million videos and i get it in principle but i just dont seem to be able to control it to just sew straight. Using the seam guides are useless as you can't really line up the edge accurately as the machine is so fast even when you are going slow. I feel so much more control over using a sewing machine but the serger is just crazy and i want to be good at it 😢
My problem is not knowung what settings to use. Its eaither too tight ot too loose! ugh!! Great tutorial though!!
Hi Erica- It sounds like an issue with the differential feed. There should be a dial on the lower left side of the machine, numbered something like 0.7 through 2.0. It can take some practice to know what setting will be right for a particular fabric. But in general, if the fabric is bunching a little, lower the diff feed.

Niceeeeeee
where can I buy this machine?
I believe this is an updated
model of this machine: www.sewvacdirect.com/reliable-dreamstitcher-600so-serger/
My server is locked up can you tell me how to unlock it
I'm not sure what you mean by "locked up," but if it's so jammed up that nothing will move, I would suggest finding a sewing machine repair service in your area. This sounds like more than your average troubleshooting issue.
So you're saying people, "dread to thread?" Lol
Looks like a Janome
Where you get this horrible voice?? Is it computer generated? Hell, ANY human voice will be better than this sh***t!
