Just seeing this video. I recently purchased a Juki MO 2800 Serger and a MCS 1700 Coverstitch machine. Was wondering which one would be better for these machines. Or would either work? I can't wait to try these techniques. Enjoying your videos!

I loved yhis video, very clear and easy to follow! You mentioned a guide? Can you tag me in the video? I cant find it... And i have a real struggle with hemming straight on the bottom without missing my left needle... 🤯
@GailPatriceDesign 2 күн бұрын
Hi Anne, You didn't mention what brand/model machine you own but check the manufacturer's website to see if they have a hemming guide for coverstitching. If not, one of my favorite tools is Clover's Stitch 'n Stick guides.Here's a link to a video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoaTZWOPp81oi6c. I've used them for years and they're great. They never leave any residue on the machine and you can wash them with soap & water and they're good as new. You can purchase them in many of the chain big box stores or at your local dealer. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

@@GailPatriceDesign hey, Thank you so much for responding! I have a bernette B68 cover/serger combo. And i dont have a struggle with the serging part. Really the cover and making the fold enough so both needles are on the fold and i dont have so much seam over that I have to cut it away.. Maybe im explaining it wrong, English isnt my main language 🙈 But the problem for me really is the folding down because i dont see the fold anymore..😅

How does the range of width in a single Bernina belt loop binder work? is there an adjustable slide or simply using different width strips and no adjustment? I'm confused by the size range on each of the three belt loop binders. For a given binder, does the width of the finished belt loop depend upon the strip width used? or is the same width finished belt loop remain the same regardless of which unfinished width strip used (as long as that strip falls within the range designated for that binder)?

You are a font of wonderful ideas! I know years ago, I made very pretty narrow braids with the serger - it must be at least 15 years ago. I needed them for small antique reproduction dolls as a trim. This 4-color, cover stitch braid is much prettier and I am going to try it out. I love your ideas! I have only just gotten a cover stitch machine and am soaking up all the information for practise over the holiday season.

I love the bright colors you use on pretty fabrics. It's inspiring. Or using a string of rhinestones to serge onto fabrics. Love it.
