Thank you so much for this video tutorial. I was dreading starting to use my overlocker because I stupidly listened to other people saying that "it's too complicated" but you made the process so easy and it gave me a boost of confidence that I can never repay. So, I subscribed to your channel and can't wait to keep on learning!😊

I thought I had real problems with my machine due to loopy stitches, but no, it was a case of adjusting the looper tensions. Thank you so much for the simple explanation. It has helped me conquer my fear of my overlocker. 🖤

Thank you so much for this video..best I’ve seen! I’ve got the brother 734ds and it seems pretty much the same. I tried to thread it the first day I got it…very frustrated especially as my eyesight isn’t brilliant…always worry I’m going to break something! ….so walked away and came back to it today it’s working 🤞hurrah! It was great to have a through but straightforward run through. I got a dvd with the machine..but don’t hair w DVD player! I actually think it will be straightforward to use, but will come back to your helpful video!

That is super nice of you to say! Thank you very much! As overlockers go, it is one of the most user friendly for sure! No one has a DVD player these days, I assume that they include it for legacy purposes (just because they always have). It's a lovely machine and I'm certain that you'll get the hang of it in no time!

@SewingMachines_UK Жыл бұрын
Hello! You need to take it to your nearest Brother authorized dealer and get them to service the machine for you as they'll catch any issues. If I was to say with no other information, it could very easily be the foot control that is broken as the board in those can go sometimes (even with just a small drop ect) resulting in what appears to be your machine not working exactly as you stated (but I can't be certain)! Good luck!

I have a lock 2104D and I am having problems with my lower looper thread breaking. I keep re threading but it still happens. Any ideas? Sonia
@SewingMachines_UK2 жыл бұрын
Hey Sonia! I would check the quality of your thread, to start with, we always recommend a known brand such as Gütermann or Madeira. As simple as it sounds, this can cause an issues. If you're using great thread, perhaps unthread your machine completely and follow the video step by step and use the same settings as Rachel. the smallest mistake in the threading process can sometimes have a knock on effect! Try replacing the needle too, we always say new project new needle! It's surprising what kind of issues this can cause. If you've had the machine a while or just use it very regularly, it may be an issue that could be buffed out by a simple service, if you're local to us, feel free to give us a call! If not, get in contact with your local sewing machines repairs company, as it may be a fault. Any repair shop worth their salt will give you a free estimate and should be able to tell you at first glance if it is a fault with the machine. Good luck Sonia!

Which differetial i will use when locking with a thin jersey fabric 1.5 ?
@SewingMachines_UK2 жыл бұрын
Hey! The strechier the material, the higher you'll need to set your differential but also, low differential can be good for thinner fabrics . I can't tell you for sure what will be best for your specific material but I recommend just testing different settings on your machine with a test piece of the fabric you want to sew and check the result. If you're getting gathering, try lowering it and if it is pulling too tight and stretching, increase the differential.

Hello I have been trying to use a viscose it is a silky handle fabric , I have re threaded the overlocker and played around with both loopers but I just can’t seem to get it correct . Any ideas for settings you’d suggest ? Many thanks x
@SewingMachines_UK2 жыл бұрын
Hi! Slippery fabrics can be quite tricky! Try adjusting the differential feed. For thin fabrics, brother recommend between 0.7 and 1, this dial is also located on the right of the machine, towards the front. Some people say that pulling the fabric taught as it feeds through the machine can help quite a lot, followed by a quick press by an iron. Perhaps you could try a new needle, if you're using a 14 then try a 12 instead. It really can be quite a lot of trial and error. Let me know if this helped at all and goo luck!

@SewingMachines_UK2 жыл бұрын
If you've had your machine for over a year without servicing then I would perhaps try getting it serviced as well as checking the quality of the thread that you're using, as it may not be up for the job (try it with a good quality thread on some scrap fabric). If none of that works, then maybe try new needles and ensure that they're the right size. Hope this is somewhat useful, I wouldn't know without seeing it exactly what the issue is. Feel free to get in contact with us if your based in the south east of England by chance as we can look at it for you!

I'm afraid we didn't know better at the time, and we aren't able to change it retroactively. I hope you got something from the video in spite of this. I would say that, in Rachels defense, it's the lack of microphone that is to blame, I don't particularly agree with your critique of her delivery.
