This class looks very informative. The only thing I would like to see (preferably in a future class) in a cleaning a sewing machine class is a demonstration of a sewing machine that actually needs cleaning. I know it looks great on camera to show the steps on a squeaky clean machine, but I think it would be really useful to see how the actual dirt accumulates, and the different methods of getting rid of it. Thank you for the great classes, I'm a big fan!

[@crizannebracken6453]

I am very please to say that I just followed your instructions and my serger is running smoother than ever! Round of applause to you Sara x

[@bonniekonjevich7574]

I never knew about the pins or when to oil. Being compliant with learning as much as one can to run it, makes a real difference. As primarily a visual-learner, this video is just what I needed. Craftsy has been helpful in many ways, for yeaars. Thks!

[@cindymcfarland4686]

Sara is such a good instructor! I watch all her tutorials.

[@maryjohnson-goeldner6351]

OMG, what a great lesson, thank you I haven’t used my serger for 8 years so I had forgotten everything.

[@myhouse108]

Thanks, as always, for your excellent instructions! Keep up the good work.

[@missnz00]

Great tips thanks for sharing 👍

[@sewcanyou5013]

Great video!

I have a 10 year old Huskylock 905 that doesn't get used very much. Your tips were very helpful especially using qtips. Unfortunately my local Viking dealer has retired and sold his business. Thank you for the information

Just an FYI: I have a Miele Vacuum and the micro vacuum attachments do not fit the hose on the Miele Vacuum!

[@elle-izalogan9372]

Besides finding those steps and hints very helpful I have to say that "Sara Snuggerud" must be the cutest name I've ever heard.

[@thebluriam]

Much information! So serge! Wow! Very like!

[@gwendolynflowers6213]

Thank you

[@dcwatashi]

Sure wish there was a video on KZbin on how to adjust the pressure foot tension on the Singer Pro Finish or any serger that has the adjustment knob submerged like the Singer.

[@gagafayard1413]

Hi there! Great tutorial. I just bought a used serger that doesn't have a manual. I'm sure I can find one online. I've never used a serger before, how often do you need to oil it? TIA

[@CraftsyYouTube]

Great question! I have submitted your question to our experts. Please watch this space for their reply. It typically takes 1-2 business days. Thank you!

Mine is a MY Lock 734D

[@caroldean4417]

EXCELLENT! someone needs to invent a “roomba” for the serger. i know that sounds lazy.

[@susanmazzanti5643]

A local dealer? The closest one is over 100 miles away and I rarely go to that area. Everyone does not live in a city and a small town can not support such a store.

[@pinkpussycatyarns7426]

Mine works fine except....... The outer casing bangs against the top knife.... And I don't know how to solve it.... Help

[@roserose-qx2yu]

Hi good job...my searger tread always keep broken..then one on on the end right hand..plz help me

[@lianelaskoske4397]

Follow threading instructions in your manual. I had the same problem, and I had it threaded wrong.

[@amymonson1716]

White speedlock differential light comes on but machine will not work when I push the foot pad?...

[@kimnieminski8396]

Hi Amy I'm having this same problem..Did you get an answer on what to do?

[@TheJudeJane]

Unfortunately, she did not show the inside section behind the left “door”, so she only oiled two parts of the machine instead of at least six. Read your manuals, people!! You have a diagram showing you every moving metal part that needs to be oiled!🧵🧵🧵🧵Sergers are great, but they need TLC.
