I use a very small crochet hook….slide through stitches and snag the tail and pull through. It’s faster than the darning needle method, but the finish looks the same. 😊
Thanks. I use the needle to pull thread back-in. But I do it differently. I slide needle through the loops then thread it. At that point I pull them back. Same result different technique. But I love the other options.
I mostly use the unravelling and knot tying technique if I’m trying to be tidy… but I make heat packs for a massage therapy centre and that is too much time, so then I just pull the threads and they kind of knot up by themselves and trim the excess - of course this can fail and I have to stitch over the end as it can be at risk of leaving the end of the seam undone 🤔
I’ll try several of those next time in lieu of my folding the end back over and stitching a few stitches to nail threads down, then cutting extra length off.
I would love to be able to not deal with the pesky tails of the surger, but I have to pull it out of my closet and not be afraid to use it in order to deal with the tails.😢
Don’t be afraid of your serger! I know, easier said than done, but just take a deep breath and try it. Your seam finishes will be secure and look great. You can do it! 👍
Thank you so much for this video. I’m a quilter, but just recently bought a serger because I’m interested in garment sewing and so I’m trying to learn all I can about sergers. I bought the same one you showed in your video. (Juki MO654DE) I have only practiced with it to get a feel for it, but it seems like a great machine

I use this method when tail is too short
Brilliant tips!! I’m going to try a few of these out!
Have fun!
When using a needle to weave tail, pick a yarn needle with a rounded tip so as not to snag when tunnelling through.
Great tip!

Thanks for sharing your insight and expertise ❤❤
Excellent presentation!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Great video. Love all these methods!!
So glad!
The flip method is the quickest imv (and what I use). Second would be the bar tack.
I straight stich the tail onto the seam for about an inch or so.
Turn flip and stitch.
I usually use a tapestry needle and thread it through the stitches. I tried tying knots but that was a bit too fiddly for me.

Don't be afraid! You can do it, it's really pretty easy to use!
Your serger will not bite you. Free it from your closet and enjoy using it!
@@notesfromleisa-land Lolololol. I like that! I will!
