Rolled Hem on an overlocker - Brother M343D Serger | Abi’s Den ✂️🧵

[@alisonsansum3672]

Abi you are now my go-to tutor for overlocker advice. I find the manuals just confuse me but you make it so simple. Thank you and keep the videos coming.

[@debbiedavies4963]

So glad I found this, I've never owned an overlocker although I've sewn for years, it's a bit daunting but with your help Abi I feel confident. Thanks 😊

[@dmnpod]

Thank you Abi, your video tutorials are brilliant and you explain everything so clearly. Don't ever stop, the sewing universe needs you! You have made me feel confident with my overlocker (same model you are using here, the Brother M343D) :)

[@susanbentley6296]

I've always avoided doing a rolled hem but after watching that I'm desperate to have a go. Very easy to follow instructions, it's also good to have things explained as to the reason for doing something. Thanks

[@louisebury7934]

Absolutely brilliant tutorial. Feel like I'm finally beginning to understand my over locker. Thanks Abi x

[@oldladyhen]

Oh my goodness !!! This is amazing !! I've spent days/hours looking how to do this ... thank you sooooooo much x its like magic !! 🥰⚘️

[@AbisDen]

it is ;)

[@elizabethaross]

I have this machine and saw someone had finished a garment with a rolled hem. Hmmm I thought, I wonder how to do this on my machine and hey presto, your video came up! Thanks so much for this very clear tutorial- I’m off to play with my machine!

[@juliemenezes254]

Thank you for a great tutorial video. I recently bought this overlocker on Amazon and I'm still learning how to use it and the accessories that I need to buy. I find your videos very helpful indeed ❤❤❤

[@AbisDen]

You are welcome!

[@lorrainehenderson8521]

Thank you so much for very clear instructions bought this machine a couple of days ago never used or had an overlocker before was a bit daunting to start with but you have inspired me to carry on, thanks again x

[@carolinelvsewe]

I’m still so confused on using my overlocker but am learning from tutorials like this. Thank you!

[@AbisDen]

Thank you. I’m always looking for ideas for videos. So please keep in touch and let me know what you’d like to learn

[@abilouise9918]

Your videos have really helped me understand my overlocker which is the one you have in this video. Thank you so much xx

[@sylviacrane8190]

Really clear instructions, thank you, I'm just getting use to my overlocker and it's much easier to watch you than read the manual

[@AbisDen]

Thank you for your feedback Sylvia, it helps me to know whether the videos are useful. Good luck with the rolled hem, it's so much fun and so easy when you know how.

[@craftsmampesic5364]

thank you i will try set up my brother toady and get hem rolling great tutorial xx

[@AbisDen]

Good luck!!

[@sylviacrane8190]

I got my brother 3034 in September and have really enjoyed getting used to it as I have never used an overlocker before. I got three extra feet with my machine and have used the manual to try them out, I have had a go at the rolled hem on a thicker fabric though. Your videos are great. I must get my head around different fabrics and tensions though. Thanks again

[@AbisDen]

Ahhh. That’s fantastic, well done 👍🏽 I wonder how you got on with the feet?

[@michythered]

Thank you Abi, for a lovely clear tutorial.

[@kimbutterworth1555]

Thanks for this great tutorial, just finished my first rolled hem and it’s turned out not too bad!

[@valclements7092]

Love the calm way you teach. Awesome video. Thank you. Val 🇨🇦🇬🇧❤️

[@portialanden6353]

Thanks for your videos. This is a lot of info for me to take in, so I 'save' all your videos to refer back to. Thank you!

[@AbisDen]

Amazing. Thanks Portia

[@beverleyfathers3790]

Love this video. Only just worked out how to thread mine as had it for my birthday a week ago! Looking foward to trying a rolled hem.

[@AbisDen]

Happy birthday!

[@beverleyfathers3790]

Thank you. It’s really nice to know you are there in real life/time. xx

[@ColleenMEA]

Very very good, I need to experiment and loose the fear. Thanks

[@brettster3331]

Great video Abi, I found this so helpful, I tend to follow the instructions for my various serger's/coverlock machines and you showed the the great idea of trying different stitch lengths and when set on the 3 it looks like a hand done silk scarf edge.

[@AbisDen]

It does, doesnt it? It's so much prettier like that. Have fun and be daring!

[@carolewright5211]

Right just received my second hand over locker. Followed your helpful video and I’m off to see a hem. Thank you

[@seamstresscaducea]

I just found your channel yesterday when I was ready to throw my Brother1034D out the window 😆 You are a gem! 💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

[@AbisDen]

Thanks and welcome. Throwing machines out of the window can be cathartic but not the best solution. Glad I could stop you getting to that point 💕☺️

[@janeford551]

Thank you for sharing this information and it’s made me more confident

[@AbisDen]

Amazing. Hope you give it a try share it on @abis.den on instagram if you’re on there. I would love to see how good do

[@laydeep1740]

Thank you great teaching, mine is still in the box too, looks scary lol. I like my vintage singer machines for their great straight stitches but do need the overlocker for finishing. One day soon, love to watch your tutorials you make it look more accessible to use one. Take care x

[@AbisDen]

Ooh. Get it out and have a play x

[@audreybond2864]

Oh Im swamping the net looking at reviews for all different makes of machine. I seem to be coming down to either Janome or Jaguar ATM. I cant just take the plunge. Dont mind spending more on a superb machine. Thank you so much for your tutorials as they are encouraging me to go for one.

[@AbisDen]

I’m unboxing the jag99 soon, so look out for that too! Even I don’t know if it’s up to my standards yet. Haha! Let’s see

[@dorothy8701]

Something I have yet to try on my overlocker. You make it look so easy

[@Notoriouskga]

Great tutorial, I’ve had my overlocker since Dec and this is so helpful! Thank you so much

[@pcpanduru9265]

Love your video. I own the same serger and love it. I am planning on trying to sew some chiffon soon and found this video just perfect.😊

[@johannabarnes6147]

Hi Abi love all your videos need help with new needles, what do all the letters mean and what ones should I by this this overlocker please

[@AbisDen]

Thanks for joining us Johanna, let's do a video on that x

[@mauriceanddebbiedavidson3569]

Fab demo - very clear. Thank you. What would be the settings for a slightly thicker than chiffon cotton fabric?

[@AbisDen]

Your settings will be the same, more or less, you need to change your needle to 80 universal id say

[@Ohcarol912]

Thank you for this video I purchased this machine in January 2019 so appreciate any information on it. This is my first overlocker and I must admit I haven’t a glue to what you can do with it although I can thread it which is good curtesy of one if your videos, once again thank you 🙏 xx

[@AbisDen]

Ahh. I hope I have helped. More videos are coming so keep watching :)

[@supermelodia]

what's the settings for light knit fabric very slipery like those used for underwear like Lyrca.

[@jesshothersall]

Thank you for the comprehensive demo :)

[@tamaradavies1581]

Very clear video and so helpful. I have one question... my needle keeps unthreading do you know why this could be happening?

[@AbisDen]

You may need a new needle, when it’s blunt, it drops the thread easily. Or you may have too much fluff inside the machine.

[@antheageorge9992]

Thank you very much for this tip... It worked well on my project

[@AbisDen]

Glad it helped

[@antheageorge9992]

Watching your videos from Trinidad and Tobago

[@AbisDen]

Wow! 😊 thank you

[@debbiewilding5455]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It’s very helpful x

[@cameronmacintosh5933]

Thank you for your clear and concise instructions.

[@AbisDen]

You’re very welcome

[@pennyhanson2598]

Thank you so much, although I will need to watch it again! 🤣 Still haven’t taken my machine out of its box as I have been too busy, but I have a few projects, including some chiffon which needs hemming, so very soon....! The more help the better! Many thanks and best wishes, Penny 😊

[@AbisDen]

Come on! Get the machine out of the box and let’s see what it can do :)

[@smould1]

Could I ask about needles. My machine, a Singer S010L states needles 2022 but I’m wondering whether I can use the ranges you have indicated. I am about the sew table runners for my daughters wedding which is quite a big job. The fabric is very flimsy, a chiffon I think and I think having a fine needle is going to make all the difference but I’m struggling to source 2022.

[@dinnyhinds3296]

Wonderful tutorial. Thank you Abi

[@AbisDen]

Thank you Dinny 😊🌷

[@heatherkirton2669]

Thank you Abi, I am new to sewing, and even newer to overlocking (my Xmas gift from my husband - lucky me!). I love the tip about leaving the needle threaded while you remove it, and also placing a piece of fabric under the foot while changing the needle - thank you for the tips and this very clear video. I am looking to do a rolled hem on a flounce (currently cut as a complete circle), but I get in a muddle when I serge and cut at the same time when I meet up with the starting point - have you any tips for this? Should I disengage the blade, or cut my circle so I can sew/cut without the issue when I get back to the starting point? Thank you in anticipation.

[@gloriapiper168]

EXCELLENT Really like the way she explain every thing💯 %

[@AbisDen]

Thank you Gloria 🌷

[@dianadivadiamond]

Thanks so much for this tutorial. It was very helpful for me because I have one like this.

[@lorrainewhiting1267]

Fabulous explanation you are the best

[@AbisDen]

Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad to help x keep watching more to Come.

[@annwhite2301]

Have you any tutorials for the Janine Harmony overlocker. Thanks

[@karanewman1988]

Hello. Just bought this over locker and watching your videos. Thank you. For the rolled hem, do you need a special foot?

[@AbisDen]

Thank you. No you should be okay without a special foot. Brother don’t have them.

[@Louise-zs9rl]

Superb❤ great video!

[@AbisDen]

Thank you!!☺️

[@paulheaton3485]

Hi Abi. I’ve been using this rolling hem a lot thanks to your video. I have found on some chiffon fabrics the fabric frays on the side and didn’t hold the stitches. They just come away. Any ideas ?

[@AbisDen]

Hi Paul, I find the technique can be fussy on the brother machines. However, I have updated the video recently, the settings are the same, this is the video EASY PERFECT ROLLED Hem every time! 6 steps works on all Overlockers #Overlocker #sewinghacks kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2qqpIyEqdWjrKc. Good luck, please let me know if it worked

[@emikoworkstudio]

hello from australia nice vdo , i got question for you which one you think it work better and easy to use i am a beginner for overlock Brother 2504D Overlocker OR Brother M343D Overlocker i sewing doll clothes thanks

[@julieottaway177]

thank you so much I really enjoyed it

[@Sandiiwhite]

Fantastic tutorial. Looking forward to seeing more. Had my 343D for 24hrs. Followed your threading tutorial and managed to make some recycled cloths out of Terry towelling yesterday. Just finished a rolled hem chiffon scarf by following this video. One thing I would like to ask is, I have universal feet for my sewing machine. Can I use them on my overlocker?

[@AbisDen]

Thank you so much I have a video for gathering coming up. Share the video and at2000 subscribers I’ll upload it. No. Sewing machine feetsont workon overlockers. They’re shaped differently and might damage your machine or cause injury to you. X

[@rachelweston2169]

When you purchased did it come with the cotton? What size and type of cotton do I need for this

[@iluvindia01]

Hi love ur videos, just wanted to know y do I get loops? It’s so frustrating please help

[@sarahkruczek4551]

Hello hun.. im looking to buy a over locker but I don't know which would be best the singer s010L or this brother m343D ..I know you have done both which would you recommend please hun... HELP XX

[@AbisDen]

To me, there’s not much in it. One has a knife up at the top, the brother has the knife below. I don’t like the cheap feel of the brother machines. The singer does sew two thread, so offers a bit more. But performance on both is very similar.

[@sarahkruczek4551]

@@AbisDen thankyou for replying so quickly..can't wait to get started..and thankyou for your videos hun xx

[@melanienowalski-fry8851]

Hi could u direct me to where I can buy additional feet for m343d pls

[@AbisDen]

Try Amazon?

[@melanienowalski-fry8851]

Have a look for 1034d feet, they work on the m343d too!

[@bhhunt4963]

A great tutorial thanks

[@jillhyndman9520]

Does anyone know if a Brother 734Ds Overlocker can do a roll hem?

[@AbisDen]

It can but it’s not a very good finish

[@carolinebayley3616]

Could anyone tell me which best overlocker? I’ve been told jaguar 2015DT best one but I can’t even work it out so I am looking for simple and none complicates overlocker

[@isabelrodriguez3038]

Veo que cuando cose se mueve mucho, eso es normal?

[@MollyKaren]

I've followed all of these steps but its not sewing at all! The needle goes through the fabric but doesnt seem to catch the looper threads
