[@Cindy-Williams]

I love love love how you don't have a bunch of unnecessary talking and talking and talking. You just cut through the crap and got straight to the point. You don't even know how wonderful that is!!!!! Thank you!

[@IconicPatterns]

Haha, and here I thought that brevity is not appreciated anymore :) Thank you, you made my day :)

[@angiemenapa]

Especially when the video turns out to be a fashion/makeup/hair video instead of being a sewing one! 😂🙈

[@michaelcowgill]

yes I couldn't agree more, the best tutorial yet, straight and to the point, thanks so much.

[@DiannaAtherton]

Agree

[@warialdasue]

Thankyou! I’ve been looking all over KZbin on how to do this. And Thankyou for getting straight to the point without a lot of chatter and showing off. 👍

[@DianaCameron-ky3zp]

Great, simple tutorial. No waffle. I've been sewing for years but only recently bought an overlocker and I confess, I was a bit scared of it but the tuition was easy to understand and I'm looking forward to making some jersey garments. Thank you.

[@elizabethdelong2141]

Thank you!! OMG..No matter how many times I have watched the serger dvd or read the technique booklet, I could Not understand this ridiculously simple direction!! Thank you so much!!!!!:))

[@katrinsmenio7847]

Very useful demonstration, thanks.

[@TheZencha]

thank you, just great tut!! never thought my serger could do that!!!!!!!

[@luisarobins3088]

wow, I've had my overlocker since Christmas and only ever used it twice. This was exactly the reason why I got it in the first stage: to be able to do hems like you see on shop bought tshirts, so thank you very much for explaining it !!!

[@DTyrannosaurus]

I'm new with my serger, and this is exactly one of the things I want to be able to do. I'm going to try as soon as I can, thanks!

[@normagilera1426]

Thanks for your tutorial , I have been looking for this tutorial fo ages. I saw one but needing a different foot.

[@ChrisLucasDesigns]

Love this hem technique Lena! Thank you for sharing :)

[@dianeperkins9294]

Absolutely brilliant Video.. thanks for taking the time to make and share. You have made this technique look so very easy, compared to all the overlocker / Serger manuals..!! Can’t wait to try this out.

[@mofug2]

[@leslieinglis5423]

Thanks so much!!

[@mreedhead]

Worked wonderfully, thank you

[@IconicPatterns]

I am glad to hear it :)

[@RomiW]

Your tutorial is excellent ...thank you for sharing!

[@ameliarobin1479]

Thank you for this

[@africo9104]

That's great, I was wondering how to do this as well as sleeves without two needle sewing machine or coverstitch machine.

[@diswain6708]

Thank you. This was very helpful

[@mariascakery7001]

Brilliant, thank you!

[@psr7167]

Your look awesome

[@SEOANETEXTIL]

No me canso de compartirlo en nuestro muro de Facebook, es estupendo este video!

[@chocolate001able]

Thank you so much. Now I don't need to buy a coverstitch machine.

[@angiemenapa]

Same. I can also just stick to a twin needle if I wanted that double stitch look with a stretchy underside.

[@Innerstrength111]

Wow, this is amazing I had no idea my serger could do this. I think I would need a lot more practice though because I'm afraid I would cut my hem

[@carolynplaysbass]

Wow thank you! Is this a good way to hem sleeves & bottom of shirt? I love the look.

[@omonibodyomolarabadmus4316]

Brilliant will try it

[@s.senthilkumar8140]

super demo.

[@karenbilton9437]

I keep wanting to learn this hem, I watch very intently but still cant master this!!!

[@jennyventer6940]

Do you adjust the stitch ( closeness) deferential feed because you cannot make the stitch wide or smaller. Hope you understand what I mean. Thank you for a great explanation, (have asked the dealers but they could not show me. Told check your book.)

[@lisao3041]

Also, so as to not have to be super careful, turn the knife off entirely. You can sew on the edge of the double fold and just pull open the stitching when you unfold. This also affords you the opportunity to have the ladder stitching on the underside/wrong side of the garment. I actually prefer to see the other side facing out, not the ladder stitch.

[@jlaureta3227]

7/4/2016 thank you I learnt a lot.

[@royalhinessama]

I wish you would’ve have said in what direction to fold fabric My stretch fabric has a print side and a solid side having a hard time getting the fold on the correct side

[@saltysnoopy]

:-) Thanks, that's so cool. I was wondering how that was done.

[@CloudyWishes]

now thats a handy tip

[@capitaldidi]

Great accent! You sound like an Eastern European emigré to New Zealand :)

[@sofia11able]

super

[@katytm1359]

Kawai 😍

[@asianmtl]

Thk you soo much....love

[@leahharrison229]

nice

[@alihansford7030]

Great video. But I don't understand which needle should be threaded on the top (the one with 0 tension?) and it's not clear which needle to remove (as it looks like the opposite of what you say). Can you help? Thanks

[@IconicPatterns]

Ah, all these years and finally someone noticed :))) I threaded the right needle from the left spool. The left needle is removed, right needle set to zero and the loopers are set as usual.

[@hatem_sweif]

Thank you realy, great idea, but it's a slow process for me.. I am searching a quicker way suits my garment production line.. Please anyone knows how it could be done please give me help

[@blissstreeks4035]

why do you need to set the left knoe to zero? Is this on all machines? Is that what causes the ladder effect?

[@TheLadybughug]

So how would you lock the stitches? Thank you for this. Can you also please tell me which thread is seen on the good side of the fabric? And do j need a special foot?

[@IconicPatterns]

Can't tell you right now which thread is visible on the outside, it has been awhile! Usually you lock the stitches by hand sewing or feeding them into your overlocking seam. You don't need a special foot to do this.

[@billsalvey]

What brand and model serger is that?

[@IconicPatterns]

no problem :)

[@rainielee19]

hi uhmm what's the difference of serger, overlocker, and edging machine? i'm planning to buy one but i'm confused on the names

[@lenamerrin]

A serger and an overlocker is the same thing, I have never heard of the edging machine though.

[@knitknack2285]

Tfs

[@katytm1359]

What is overlock model?

[@IconicPatterns]

haha no problem :))

[@veegee1135]

Upper and lower looper set as usual. Usual for what?

[@IconicPatterns]

Usual for an optimal seam quality - no loops or pulling.

[@RubiRahima]

would this work on a curved hem?

[@IconicPatterns]

+RubiRahima I haven't tried it, but I can't see why not, if you are very familiar with your overlocker.

[@dcwatashi]

This just popped up in my KZbin feed. I am glad I watched it. You sound like you're from Australia but you have another accent Blended in with the Australian accent am I correct?

[@nataliedubious5241]

dcwatashi south African by my best guess, possibly living in new Zealand because there's no Aussie inflections in her accent but there is a few NZ sounding words

[@tregetletterwood1919]

But I don't want that stich on the right side of my fabric either. I want a non-visible hem. How does that work?

[@IconicPatterns]

+Treget Letterwood It won't work. An overlocker is not a machine for your task.

[@sensa619]

you could do a blind hem stitch with your serger. search on KZbin:)

[@relaxedandlovingit]

Im very new to sewing.. been doing it for 3 days now and only just camr across overlocking. Is this a special overlock machine or does it come with a standard sewing machine? How much money can one (the cheapest) set you back?

[@lenamerrin]

RelaxedAndLovingIt it is a special machine, called overlocker. I am not sure how much they are where you live, the prices vary a lot between countries and brands. If you are very new to sewing, I'd advise you to wait until you are completely comfortable with your sewing machine's functions. The overlocker has 4 threads and at first can be very confusing.

[@patsmith9736]

Can someone PLEASE help me. If I'm correct she said to set the left needle to zero and then in the next sentence she says to take the right needle out and leave the left needle in. Is that right? Maybe I just don't get it. Please set me straight. Thanks!

[@viktorbuzek9649]

Pat Smith Hi, the tension of the left needle is set on zero, and it is not removed .Right needle is removed.

[@vickimorris3675]

She DID say left tension to zero and take right needle out which is NOT what the video shows. Thank you for pointing that out. She obviously removed the left needle!

[@ottie1954]

A bit risky, but if you are brave....😊😊

[@cleidesantanacunha1868]

Quero em Português

[@mariakeane7556]

Would have been handy to do this with a patterned piece of fabric, and/or reference the right side of the fabric when it comes to pressing the fabric. Cannot for the life of me figure out what way round I should be pressing and cutting

[@IconicPatterns]

This is Elna 683

[@StrahaoftheRace]

Looks like a flatlock.
