Really helpful video. Could I ask about needles. I have the model before (9300DX) the one you have, but it does use the same needles. However I am always unsure about whether I have the right needles in. Do you use (like a sewing machine) different sizes for different fabrics? Also I am never sure if I am purchasing the right needles. I think I have just got a phobia about overlocker needles and maybe I am over thinking it. Overlockers are such powerful machines! Not long after I got my overlocker, a needle broke and it really scared me making me feel anxious when I get it out to use. Anyway, any information on the needles would be greatly appreciated 😊😊

Just a note, Some overlockers tell you to thread the upper looper first, then the lower looper. I have two (long story, I don't really need two!), a Singer 14SH754 and a Janome 6234xl like yours. My Singer says upper looper first and, as you know, the Janome says lower looper first. This may confuse some so I would say follow what the manual says. I love my Janome far more than the Singer though it does have a free arm but the lower looper is a so and so to thread. There was lots of swearing then. I haven't used either machine for a while so it is so good to have a refresher. Thankyou.
@Jessalli4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for posting this. I was given a Janome overlocker for Christmas and I've never once used it. Finally threaded it today but feel so intikidated by it. I just don't see how you use it. If it slways cuts as well as finishes, ot is cutting away part of your seam allowance, so how do you know where your sewing line would be? I finish all pieces before sewing to prevent fraying but I don't see how I can do this with an overlocker. I feel bad about not using it but it seems a bit of a pointless maschine to me. Also those straggly chains don't look tidy to me and defeat the purpose of finishing the edges. I don't know maybe I'll come to love it but not feeling the love yet.

@Jessalli7 жыл бұрын
Hi Allison, I use mine on nearly every project. I use it to finish cushions, on all my clothes and dress making, even to finish edges on framed pieces. It's so useful. But you can get a similar effect by just using a straight stitch and then going over the raw edge with a zigzag stitch on your normal machine. The benefits of an overlocker are; it's more professional, it's super quick, and it cuts and finishes the raw edges for you. Downsides; it's not a good thing to unpick if you make a mistake and you need a lot of thread (although its cheap). Hope that helps!?

@chrislusbytaylor31974 жыл бұрын
@@Jessalli Nearly all overlocker manuals, except Janome and, I think, some Frister & Rossmann, say to do the upper looper first. This is nearly always the second from the right. Brenda says hers is like that. Your reply to her says "some say lower looper before upper". It is the other way round. You in your video say lower looper before upper, she is saying the opposite. But I think you are right that it isn't always important, depending on where you take the tails to after threading. If you take them to the back of the foot, the lower looper thread should pass over the upper looper and its thread. This, I believe, is why most manuals specify that order. Far more important, in my experience, is to unthread the needles, or at least cut the threads after the needles and pull new tails out, whenever you rethread a looper. Personally, I find threading the needles hard with my eyesight, so I prefer to pull the thread through the needles with tweezers, then cut it and pull out any existing thread chain.
