- How me and my serger (Singer Professional 5), became friends,
This is my first on only serger, a bit intimidating to say the least, it has so many control, cone of thread, it's load, run too fast, heavy.
And how the heck does one even thread this beast.
I have done some post on threading so no covering that here, but what I did to get comfortable with my machine.
Went and got an old bed sheet and cut it up into strips 5" wide and 8" long.
Then went to my machine and thread a 4 thread 2 looper stitch according to the workbook, and got it working and making a good looking stitch.
I then went thought, changing one setting/control at a time to the max and lowest setting and some in between. And when done with that setting, I returned back to default setting and went on to the next setting, I started with left needle, then right, then on to the loopers, then stitch length, then stitch width, then differential feed, then presser foot pressure.
After I changed a setting I compared it to the first default setting stitch, so I can see what each of the different setting and controls do.
And I did this for most of the stitches, I skipped the rolled hem (I have never had to use this on a garment).
Took over four hours, used up nearly entire cones of thread, and had a huge bucket full of stitch samples.
What this did was make me familiar with my machine and have a better understanding of what each setting or control does.
Excellent overview and advice to anyone new to serging and coverstitching. I have this machine and have really enjoyed it.
Thanks made sample using every possibility until I reached the perfect stitch for a shear fabric … thanks from Caracas
Wow thanks those were hugely helpful. I find the manual a little confusing
El video que mas me ayudado y eso que no es mi idioma gracias
Dear Mr Needle, I would be very grateful if you could take closer shots of the loopers and settings, otherwise you are very good at explaining the procedure.
Can you make a video how to tread your overlock to. Made five tread safety ditch narrow? Thank you 😊
Thank you for your video. I was trying... but i dont understand why te differents work from a to i .. made all te same works... dont change... before was good but niw my machine don't fabrics many programs... even i change the program a to b it still like the a... or if i change to e it stil the same... not like original... I'm sad about it. What can I do? I like this machine but it don't works like before
Hi, can you do the roller hem please? I can't achieved it, it doesn't get narrow. I'm a doll's clothes sewer these days and it's way too wide. Many thanks ;^)
In what positions are your thread? Yellow? Green and red? The instructions are not expecific . Help 😢
Hello. I have the same machine, but the machine doesn't do the stitches well. are too wide and some stitches are not made, I don't know why. There is a problem. how can I solve? from A to F and the i. all without tension. some don't, the blue thread doesn't meet the others... its not well... what i have to do??? I'm really sad because i like very much this, but it don't works well now. Why? machine
I have only used 3 needle wide overstitch so far. I have followed the threading directions but when I sew a hem and pull the needles up (turning the wheel toward the back) the thread almost always get jammed I have to force the fabric out and the thread comes out of the left or right needle. Any suggestions? I'm ready to return it, it's so frustrating
amy schmidt ...don’t turn the wheel backwards. Don’t turn it at all. Just run the the foot off the material and leave a tail. Cut the thread.
