Such a great tip, and it is great to know that we distrusting people 🤣can actually trust the marks. Thanks so much, love your energy, you are adorable!
Girl, your hair is amazing. And of course I love watching your instructional videos, and the best part is that I was in the midst of ripping out a seam when this video came on. Thanks for the super easy ideas. You are the best and so funny and fun to watch.
E&m videos are a lifesaver! I feel bad I haven't watched them in a while but I knew you wouldn't let me down when needimg to know my seam allowance markers.🥰 thanks Ny!
We need more of your great energy! I just learned so much, and I had this serger for 3 years!! ( embarrassed to say, never knew about those darn seam allowance notches😖... Anyway Thank You!!
I just purchased a 1034DX. If E&M patterns have a 1/4 inch seam, how does one line up the fabric to stitch it correctly, if the first notch on this serger is 3/8? Newbie needing help 😊
Thanks Ny! Measuring the seam allowance on my serger has always been such a guessing game for me. And then, taking out a serged seam...😣. This info is great! I Really appreciate your video(s).
I take a tiny piece of blue tape and place it beside the correct seam allowance mark on the door so I can see it better. Then it is easy to reposition or remove as needed.
Got my FIRST serger for my birthday! Been overcasting on my sewing machine and it works, but took nearly 8 minutes to just do a knee length skirt with the floor to the pedal, so I’m excited. Anyway- unpicking- I’m terrified about fabric that’s cut off!!! 🫣
Loved this video! I’m getting a serger this week, my first, so I was curious as to how seam allowances work when serging and your video was perfect and exactly what I needed. Thanks!
You are so helpful and adorable. I was wondering...you mentioned the 1/4 inch seam allowance but not how to find it, if I'm not mistaken. How do you make sure you're following the 1/4 inch seam allowance correctly? Thanks.
Thanks for the video I just bought this serger. Can I ask what pattern your top is it’s so cute? I also have the same waffle knit fabric but was afraid to use it for making a top, can I ask what type of contrasting gray fabric you used with it? I was curious how well the waffle knit would do on neck binding and cuffs, I’m fairly new to sewing with knits. Thank you for your help.
I'm just a little confused. Isn't the seam allowance the total of what was cut off and the amount that is covered by the serged stitches? So if the serged seam left on your garment is 1/4 in and you cut off 3/8 in, you would have been making a 5/8" seam allowance?
OH MY GOODNESS, you are correct, I TOTALLY meant to word that differently. YES! You will have 5/8ths seam allowance because you have to include that fabric contained within the needles. I meant to say it that way and got totally turned around. GOOD CATCH! I will try to post a correction on it. Thank you so much!!! xoxoxo What would I do without quick eyes like y'alls??

Thank you so much! I needed to know where the 1/4 was and no other video showed where!

Anyway Thank You!!
Best description of the seams on a serger & how to measure them, thank you!!! ❤️
You are too kind! Thank you so very much.
This is exactly what I wanted to know! Was looking all through my manual trying to figure out the seam allowance
I just purchased a 1034DX. If E&M patterns have a 1/4 inch seam, how does one line up the fabric to stitch it correctly, if the first notch on this serger is 3/8?

Thank you so much. Really informative. I just got my serger and am trying to learn. Thank you!
Always happy to help!
Thanks Ny. Now, I know about the seam allowance on the serger.
So glad it helped!!
🥰 wow I’ve been struggling with seam allowance using my serger 🙈 my garments were coming out a little big, thank you so much!
I take a tiny piece of blue tape and place it beside the correct seam allowance mark on the door so I can see it better. Then it is easy to reposition or remove as needed.
This is a very smart Idea. I think I had tried this before as well until I got used to them.
Great advice, thanks from 🇦🇺
You are so welcome. Thank you so much for stopping by.

Love your hair.. And I need to learn about seam allowance.
Loved this video! I’m getting a serger this week, my first, so I was curious as to how seam allowances work when serging and your video was perfect and exactly what I needed. Thanks!
You're welcome! I hope it helped!
Love your videos!

Thank you for the serger removal technique! That is a nightmare!! 😬😱
It totally is. Once you get the hang of pulling those threads it becomes mush easier! You are very welcome!!

Thank you for being informative and fun!!
Aww I try. Thanks for coming by to watch!
Another great one. Thank you!
Thanks a lot for coming back falana!!!!!
Can you serge curves and under arm seams with sergers? Any videos?
Thanks for your tips , once again I’ve learned something!
Happy to help!
When I found out how easy it was to pull the needle threads out, then the loopers fell off, I was so excited and amazed. 😍
oh gosh me too. I had been tearing up my fabric trying to get those seams apart!!
So much faster!
I never knew this 😳!!!
OH welcome to to something new!!! :-)
great tips, thanks!
You are so welcome!!
I'm just a little confused. Isn't the seam allowance the total of what was cut off and the amount that is covered by the serged stitches? So if the serged seam left on your garment is 1/4 in and you cut off 3/8 in, you would have been making a 5/8" seam allowance?
I was thinking this, too. The total of the 2 measurements is what the item has been narrowed by, isn’t that right?
OH MY GOODNESS, you are correct, I TOTALLY meant to word that differently. YES! You will have 5/8ths seam allowance because you have to include that fabric contained within the needles. I meant to say it that way and got totally turned around. GOOD CATCH! I will try to post a correction on it. Thank you so much!!! xoxoxo What would I do without quick eyes like y'alls??
Great video - I am now armed and dangerous with a serger!
YES!!!
