Gathering on a Brother 1034D Serger

~*Send me a dollar or more if you enjoyed the video, I could really use tips right now! *~ streampro.io/tip/kaydra_ (uses PayPal & Credit Cards! Takes only a few seconds.)
This tutorial shows how to use the gathering feature of a serger by adjusting thread widths, lengths, and tension of the 4 needles.

HI there! Trying to let my followers know, I won't be posting new content on KZbin any more - I'm switching to Twitch. (KZbin pulled my monetization a while ago and I prefer Twitch as a platform anyhow). If you follow me for the costume stuff, please sign up for Twitch (FREE) and follow me. It only takes a minute of your time and is a huge thank-you for all the unpaid time I spend preparing these presentations and videos. Thank you kindly. My profile is at twitch.tv/kaydra_ and you hit the heart button near the top right to follow.

You are such a good teacher, came across the threading one like 8 month ago, it saved me an afternoon, and now another good one.I will check your blog, thanks

[@alice30045]

I didn't get to finish, that step is for gathering step for sewing with a regular machine. You lay your index finger horizonally against the pressure foot. Thank goodness for KZbin and thanks to you for helping out. No thanks to Brother's instruction, they're poorly lacking, however, this is the best serger I've ever had and I've had a Bernette and a Juki but the stitches and threading drove me nuts!! For the money, this is a jewel

[@alice30045]

Another Academy Award!! I just read that you were using the regular foot for gathering. You should have received a gathering foot as well as a hemming foot with that machine. Try writing to them and see if they'll send you a set since they're supposed to be in all the boxes. BTW, I guess you know it but for those who don't, you can gather by holding a finger against the back of the pressure foot as you sew, you release as it bunches up and repeat. You're doing a great service to us, tha

Thanks so much for this video. I hate gathering on my sewing machine, but now I love doing it on the serger.

[@PamBeMe]

I am so glad I found you here. I viewed your threading one....great. I ended having to rethread all of them but it works. Wahoo...thank you!

[@strlight2001]

Thanks so much for this. I have a serger I have never used before and I have been wanting to make a ruffled shower curtain. I am sure it will be super easy now knowing more about my serger and how I can use it to make the finished edge and gather my fabric!! Who needs to spend $118 on an Anthroplogy shower curtain...not me!

[@platnm6309]

I just ordered my serger.. and am glad you put the fear out of threading this monster to rest. I wanted to make sure I could do it BEFORE I take on this beast. Thanks again for a clear and concise video!!

[@SusieQ4213]

You sure know how to teach an old dog how to gather on my serger! I loved it! Thank you so much for your valuable time! I will be using my serger now a lot more bc of your instructions that are so easy to follow.

[@patriciagabhart9822]

Thanks for the tutorial vidoes. I had problems threading the same as you said you did. Your insturctions were so much better. I will also start using the serger for gathering. Hope you decide to make more tutorials. Thanks again.

[@popvision8857]

thanks for such a straightforward video. nice. and you have voice that helps keep a person's interest.

[@pratebox11]

I use your threading video all the time. Thank you.

[@ddwilson4656]

Wonderful, thank you so much. You are better than having a MOM. My mom died when I was 15 so I never got to learn anything about sewing. Love you.

[@bettyhung6352]

I once again to praise you about this video, it is so simple and easy , no need to change to the gathering foot , if it does, I am afraid I cannot go back to it was , or might be worse. Thank you so much .

[@empressnoel1661]

Wow! Life changing 😉 I have watched a ton of videos, classes and no one has explained this better! Thanks for sharing this, I just bought this machine and finally getting the concept. Please keep these coming ,you're a very good teacher.

[@KimPhilibert1203]

I love your videos! They are so helpful when I am looking for a particular setting for the stitching I am doing. Thank you very much. And I am glad to hear that you will be doing more videos. I too am just learning my Brother 1034d and these are a great way to help those of us who are in need. :)

[@cljp0612]

I am so glad I found your video, I have tried for so long to figure this gathering stitch out! Thank you, thank you!

[@LaurieSilva]

Wowee, I am so glad I found you; your videos are so clear and easy to follow (the close-up views are wonderful) - sure beats me and my magnifying glass with the manual and it's teeny diagrams.

[@julszipie]

thank you- you have made serging so easy to understand!

[@joanb.4600]

That’s so much easier! I’m going to try it out. I was hesitating changing to the gathering foot, but you’ve made it easier doing it your way, thank you!

[@debrajensen7440]

I spent several hours trying to follow the manual - agh! This was great & so easy. I will be looking forward to more video's! Thank you again.

[@cbiglertube]

Keep it coming. Loving your teaching style, relaxes me about the serger verses the anxiety:)

[@bazoin1]

Thank you for sharing as I am trying to learn gathering on this machine and now because of this video I have learnt different fabrics don't gather as well as others. Thank you again.

[@avacaro78]

please please please...can you do more serger tutorials? you are the ONLY person who has done any tutorials with this exact serger, it's hard to follow someone when their machine is different, please 😁

[@bazoin1]

Thanks for sharing! I have just bought this machine and it came with a gathering foot so very interesting to see you achieving gathers with normal foot. Shall have a go using your information for my next project.

[@elysiab2453]

I agree with the previous post! You seem super awesome/cool...I love that your videos are thorough in that you state what you are doing and your thinking behind it (which is super priceless for someone like me who has bought a serger and basically I just look at it when I go in my sewing room oblivious to all I can really do...I have been just putting it off getting started until I feel knowledgeable enough about it...I want to sew garments..but really I'm just now learning). If you can give us a good playlist...I promise you'll get a lot of views because there are so few good videos on serging (techniques, applications, troubleshooting, and overall understanding of how to get the most of out it). Personally, I would love to see more of your projects...(tutorials on making something functional would be awesome). Wishing you all the best and great success...looking forward to seeing more of your work...Thanks so much for sharing and for all that you do for us new learners :-) Blessings, E.

[@1primexample]

Thank you, just made my sewing endeavors so much easier.

[@dellearts]

OK, you are amazing. Thanks for this! I just got a ton of eyelet lace that needs to be gathered.. so much time saved! :D

[@crwpoopsie5588]

[@pamwozniak1114]

I am so thankful for this video! AWESOME!!!!

[@burrelsandra]

Thanks, luv this, was just sewing knit and it was gathering up and I reduced the needle tensions and it stopped :-) :-)

[@urmymom1]

I just found this video looking for how to thread it. Yeap came undone again. Ugh. Anyways. I'm glad you made more videos. I still LOVE YOUR THREADING ONE. Just wanted to say. Thanks and I'm going to see your other videos. Now I can learn all this does because the DVDs aren't as clear as yours.

[@michelleleichter7288]

Thank you! This definitely helped. Your video is great. Good communicator. Good clear videos.

[@karensmith1317]

I added small labels to all the dials and upper and lower loopers , helped with threading .

[@katsmith9732]

Yes, I just had that epiphany moment!!! THANK YOU!!!

[@Marika5100]

Thank you so much. I just ordered this machine and was hoping I would be able to gather with a regular foot!

[@darlenenelson215]

[@handylady424]

Thanks for sharing

[@dlizecloset592]

you are a savior, have been struggling with my serger, thanks for helping. it works good now.but please did you change the foot to gathering foot?

[@catllionare]

After I gathered, like in your first example with the white fabric, what do I do to lock that stitch? In another words, how do I secure so the ruffles to stay that way and don't lose them in case I stretch the material?

[@ginavelez3974]

do you have to close the stitch? thank you for such a helpful clear video!

[@perm1212perm]

FAB!! Brother needs to pay you :)

[@hindawilliams3673]

Hi - could you please do a detailed video on how to remove and install the pressure foot on this serger? I do not know what I'm doing wrong but I always have problems putting my pressure foot on.

[@craftingits.a.h.u893]

Sorry im a little un sure on the feet that come in the box for the gathering stich can I use the Lr 4 or the LR What is the Lr foot and the Lr4 foot which is the all purpose foot can someone help me

[@EGYPTQUILTS1]

good video, thanks

[@brittanyliotto2272]

If I use this for a pattern piece and find it needs to be more gathered then I did Is there a way to separate the threads and pull it tighter?

[@Jadoremode]

OMG! I love you!

[@iseeewe5936]

You had an earthquake, yet you were so calm? I would have freaked out.

[@luisaluisa7348]

thank you!

[@cofaynomilk]

Ty that was easy!

[@alicebair1811]

Can you do a video on the extra accessory feet that came with this machine? Thanks for this amazing video!

[@harplover1]

love your videos. How do you do your labels on the machine, they look good

[@letitiadijksteel4092]

thank you very much.

[@EnchantedSea]

Awesome!

[@roun3]

Hi! Can i use denim and every fabric no matter if its thin o not?

[@Anatares86]

yea. did u use the gathering foot?? im having trouble understanding how to use it??

[@ljlindajulien]

Your video was so awesome....u did a wonderful demonstration of showing how to gather. I just bought a gathering foot for my 1220D Janome (now for learning). You mentioned that you now have a FB page. Would love to follow you for more demos....how do I find you (so I just put in Artistkae sewing?

[@dabd4567]

I just bought the 1034D. is it necessary to thread the machine in the order you show for it to work? the thread just comes straight out without looping when i run it.

[@wendytaylor6284]

You make learning easy, can you show us how to do a roll hem?

[@EnchantedSea]

Thanks!

[@sheisme55tslh]

Was this the regular foot. thank u

[@SoccerChiq7]

Hi, did you change the foot for the gathering??

[@NiceNCurvy]
