Good refresher. Please do more tutorials on the Desire 3. I’d like more on the extra feet, accessories and different types of decorative threads 🧵.

Thank you for this video. I have found it very useful having struggled with the cover lock side. The instruction manual is not clear enough with the basics and I have experienced a lot of problems. I bought my machine from a sewing exhibition a few months ago and the dealer is not near enough to give help. The video is so clear and detailed I am now getting results. Thank you Katy

Katy, this is a fabulous video and very helpful to those of us who had to buy sight unseen. I had big problems yesterday when coverstitching some jersey material. I was able to talk to lovely Lucy at Sew Essential, where I bought my machine from and she helped big-time in solving the issue, but each tutorial gives a little more information and is always there to refer back to. More please !!....

Really helpful refresher as I don’t use my machine as often as I should and so always having to check settings. Hope you’ll do more tutorials on the Desire3. Thanks.

A great refresher. I'm so glad I bought my Desire 3, it's a game changer. One quick question - is there any way of knowing how tight the gathering will be when I adjust the differential? If I wanted to reduce the width of a skirt panel by a third for example, how would I know what number to adjust the differential to in order to get the right amount of gathering? Apologies if there's an obvious answer.

[@babylockUK]

We're glad you enjoyed the video. With regard to your question, when the Differential Feed is at its highest setting, it should operate at a 2:1 ratio. For instance, if your fabric strip measures 10 inches, it should gather down to 5 inches. We suggest experimenting with the DF settings on fabric scraps before using them. Begin with 10-inch strips and test each setting to observe the reduction. Various fabrics will gather differently based on their thickness. A lightweight cotton will gather much better than a sweatshirt fabric. We hope this is helpful.

Absolutely fantastic and informative video, thank you, Katy. I've been using this machine for just 3 years now, and love it. Jan's brilliant video taught me how to use it originally, as I bought the machine in Lockdown (so no classes), and had never before used any kind of overlocker, so I watched Jan's demos over and over and over 🙂. I've run through most of the stitches the machine can do but I find if I use a 5 thread "safety" stitch, I have to keep threading the chain stitch after coming off. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong, please?

[@babylockUK]

I believe a straightforward fix is to leave a longer thread/chain. To begin, ensure there is sufficient thread length (4-5 inches). As the needles form the stitch, they pull the thread down. Without a long enough tail, the thread may slip out of the needle's eye. The same applies to the chain looper thread - as the looper moves back and forth, the initial thread should be long enough to account for this movement.
