Singer 14SH754 Overlocker. Different seams - Setup and Tension settings

Using the Singer overlocker, here is a demonstration of the various types of overlocked seams you can create. From 4 thread through to Super-stretch

[@airbender7025]

I always go back to your tutorial every few months/year, since I cannot memorize it all. Thank you so much❤❤❤

[@nanythetalani1854]

This is my ever best class on Overlocker. I've learned so much in few minutes. Singer should pay you for making this simple tutorial. They can't explain it so clearly and so concisely themselves. Thank you. You're the best.

[@allaafanasyeva8575]

Agree with you. What I could be do without Mr.Jamie Kemp videos. I watched lots of videos how to handle this machine , and only Mr. Kemp explains so good for my understanding. Thank you soooooo much.

[@joansheehan3366]

I am a grateful great grandmother- wanting to stitch all the seams on a little dress. Your video is excellent-such clear photos and directions. I have the booklet-but your directions are much more clear!!. My eyes are tired now-so I will stop after a fairly successful 4 inches of what looks reasonable!!!

[@denidimochka]

thank you so much, these are honestly the best singer overlocker tutorials I've ever watched. Really clear and comprehensive, I was finally able to thread mine completely for the first time lol!

[@kathrynisaac4797]

Fantastic tutorial! Can’t believe i used an overlocker for 15years and only used one type of stitch, Can’t wait to try all these on future projects 👍

[@IchGluckspilz445]

Best tutorial on this serger model on KZbin ❤❤❤

[@nitasfashionworld_01]

This is the best tutorial I've watched

[@mrtger]

My Singer overlocker has sat in its box for 3 years since I abandoned trying to use it following the written instructions.I was so disappointed as I had wanted one for years. This week I found your tutorial and will not look back, it is brilliant and I now have it working and. have made my first blouse with beautiful tidy seams. Thank you.

[@serpentineline4767]

So pleased this video is here, thank you for doing it. I bought my over locker from Lidl about 2 years ago and ever since then I've studiously avoided going anywhere near it because I didn't have a clue where to start. Being in desperate need of an over locker for a project I'm working on at the moment, I headed onto You Tube. Now I can't wait to unbox it and give it a go. Your videos are brilliant- thank you for taking the time to do them.

[@PeachyNanaUK]

Fantastic. I only bought my overlocker yesterday and I’ve never used one before so this is invaluable! Thank you.

[@annedanks9996]

Fantastic tutorial - better explained than anything else I’ve found so far, having started with the Singer Overlocker 18 months ago!

[@dianeperkins9294]

Brilliant Video Jamie. Huge THANK YOU for taking the time. Its so much better than the manual, very clear and simple instructions.

[@annecoogan5164]

Absolutely amazing. I would have given up without this guide. So simply but throughly explained and crystal clear camera work.

[@joharrison7851]

I'm a very newby to using the overlocker, and I have found this tutorial excellent with very good close ups on the seams. Thank you

[@FranVGConstantine]

Thank you Jamie, I am using my converter for the first time, I truly love the 2 thread seam, thanks for your slow step by step instructions. because of you I hve been using my serger more frequently; more confident now.

[@kaymagiera1475]

I've had my serger for 5+ years and I didn't know I could do all this. Also I had a heck of a time getting the tensions right. This helped me so much. many, many thanks

[@ruthlanwarne8978]

After 3x threading this with your help it is working with the best tension Ive had so far. Thank you so much.

[@meganscott1846]

Thanks for your awesome tutorials. I am finally using my Singer overlocker which I was terrified of doing. Your tutorials are easy to follow and great to go back to when I get stuck. I will now attempt some new stitches. A heartfelt thanks to you.

[@gãodemostarda]

Yours is the best tutorial I've seen for this machine. THANK YOU so much! Very clear, just brillant!

[@billminckler6550]

Wow! What a great job! Thank you! I just purchased a Singer Serger and your two videos on the overview and then the various seam choices. I learned so much from your clear instruction. Thank you again! Bill Columbus, Ohio USA.

[@onlyeweandcottontoo7755]

This is definitely the best video I’ve seen for this serger! Very concise. I bought my serger several months ago and waited to take some classes last month. I learned some things about serging but nothing about threading (we used a serger that had an air threader). You made it simple. It’s not at all scary like people say. Thank you so very much!

[@ForeverOneSpirit]

The best serger tutorial on stitches and hems. Thank you so much. This was very well thought out for your viewers. GOD Bless.

[@FarinaBroadley]

I come back to this tutorial over and over, thanks Jamie!

[@allieprivate4013]

Omg!!! This by far is the best tutorial ever! I've had my Singer Overlock Serger 14u34 (which was a Christmas gift)put up since the 90s because it felt so intimidating.🥴 Now that I have a new hobby (pillow making)I decided to pulled it out and conquer my fears! Thanks to this awesome teaching video, I'm well on my way and enjoying my new hobby with great success! Thank you so much! I'm so grateful! 🥳

[@user-ss6cz8bx6t]

Many many thanks!! After owning my overlocker for over 3 years (& being too scared to use it) - I have now threaded and had a practice with it! Thank you soooo much!!

[@trecec3541]

Thanks Jamie for a fantastic tutorial! I am determined to learn how to use this serger and I’ve turned my fear into faith...and I am sooo happy that you’re my instructor!🥳🎉🤗❤️

[@HelenaLanserTermasDaAzenha]

Thank you very mucht! I couldn't have done it without this clear instructions! Here's a very grateful and happy viewer!

[@avasullivan1429]

I know this video is years old but hands down best video bought one of these babies for 50 bucks on Facebook marketplace because they said the thread kept breaking, they just needed to set the tension properly thread it properly and I got all of my information from this video thank you so much

[@quantumquattro]

Brilliant Jamie! I've just watched your first tuto with this overlocker machine...and commented. This one has ALL of the same qualities with excellent content. If I'd have had a maths teacher at school like you, I would have excelled in the subjet, which was not the case! I really feel confident to get serging now thanks to you.

[@karenanderson4582]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. So easy to follow instructions. The video was just great to see all the details. Keep up the great work and the time you spent to help others.

[@plumdove0807]

Brilliant tutorials - thank you soooo much. I bought my overlocker machine nearly a year ago but not used it much and had such trouble trying to understand the manual with it's not very clear pictures/instructions!! I need to shorten the dress I'm wearing to my son's wedding which has a rolled hem and want to do the same so will be practising using your fantastically clear and easy to understand tutorials before I attempt the real thing! I do a lot of sewing (mainly crafts/patchwork/bags etc) but have never used an overlocker before and thought it would be useful tool to add to my sewing room. Thanks again Jamie.

[@monakhosrowpour8065]

Just want to say thank you so much for such a complete guide . It's made it so much easier now to use the overlocker .

[@gillianjones537]

I’m delighted with mine. Once I followed your very clear instructions, everything is absolutely fine. Thank you.

[@lievefivez8219]

Yesterday I saw the videe for the first time. I bought a rarely used machine second hand. The explanation is very clear! ( even when you are not a native speaker). I look forward my first result. Thank you

[@alannasilato8265]

This was the most informative and easily understood demonstration I have ever seen. Thank you!

[@51dparks]

Hi there, just wanted to thank you so much for your videos. I have a new singer serger and after being frustrated with watching other videos I ran across your instruction. I've saved them, have taken notes and feel much more confident to experiment with my machine. I really appreciate how clear and slowly you speak as well as how clear your zoom in is. Thank you again so much and I look forward to more of your videos. Blessings to you, Denise

[@gabriellla]

I just got my machine 3 weeks ago and so far your teaching videos are the best and they are very helpful. Not the same as I try to understand from the book what came with it. Thanks, I will check the other videos as well!

[@jackiefruciano1471]

I dont know if i posted before but this is the best tutorial ive ever watched. Even a 5yr old can easily follow it. Thank you Jamie🤗

[@shantaesmith7789]

Thank you so much, I was ready to give up on my serger because I didn't know nothing about it for it to sew properly and then I saw this video that make so much sense and that answered all my questions. Your a God sent for doing this video thank you :)

[@anngibson1088]

Thank you so much Jamie. This overlocker has been gathering dust despite being in a bag for a few years. I just could not get the hang of it but thanks to you its begining to make sense.

[@flmillen]

I was just given a 14sh654 which looks almost the same . I appreciate your work on your video. I don't know how I would have done anything on it . Keep them coming . Thank you

[@anitagavieta]

I just bought this sewing machine today because i was amazed how precise, explain and well detailed the instruction of this video. Thanks and more power Mr Jamie Kemp will follow your next video.

[@anitagavieta]

hi. i can't open my accessories box. how is this.

[@mareevanrooyen8110]

thank you so much.Ii go back to this tutorial every time I have a problem with my overlocker. You have been the greatest help

[@janetpayne7738]

Once again, brilliant instructions and such a clear tutorial. Thank you so much.

[@lindylou4378]

This was a really clear informative video. Simple but thorough. Well Done and Thank you. I was wondering whether to get an overlocker or not as I had no idea how they worked. . After this video I have made my mind up. They don't seem so mysterious and hard at all.

[@sheilamartin3778]

fantastic instructions, so clear.I've had this machine since 2015, and never figured out how to use it till i saw these instructions. Thankyou so much!!!

[@charlesbrewer6552]

Thanks for this excellent video. I just inherited an overlocker and now, what was a deep mystery, is completly understandable. My understanding of how these machines work is greatly improved. Thanks.

[@DahliaTisyahSew]

i bought my singer overlock a year ago & just using it for just one type of seam, This video so helpful & i can do various type of seams next time

[@karenpalmer9988]

Thank you for making this video! I have this same machine, and I have had it for years, but didn't know how to use it or know what to do with it...I've lost some pieces, and I can't understand how, but I did make a couple of pairs of Leggings with it so far... I am still learning the machine, and what stitches to use. You explain everything perfectly, and I really appreciate that. I am hoping you do more video's on different types of fabrics, and what stitches look best with them. Thank you again for an excellent video...I look forward to many more from you!

[@noriherrera4603]

Me too

[@Bea-fc5in]

Awesome, deeply detailed video! I'm feeling ready to get on with my own overlocker, with less blunders!

[@RCone-xv9cp]

I couldn‘t find good instructions in german, then i found your videos and i‘m so glad about it! You explain exactly the right questions i needed to know! Thanks a lot :)

[@halfleftdawn725]

I've seen dozens of videos about this machine (I have the Pro-Finish by Singer - pretty much the same) I just want to say THANK YOU for such a complete, concise, and easy to follow tutorial! I'll be referencing it often. :) Great Job!

[@warialdasue]

Thankyou! Best overlocker tutorial I’ve seen. So easy to understand

[@jennywillis1990]

Absolutely fabulous videos. Love the way you've broken everything down into step by step instructions. Thank you.

[@spx8jkb]

You are so welcome!

[@roseruiz4717]

Fantastic tutorial! Good camera angle and great tips. Thank you!

[@traceyharper31]

Fantastic tutorial - it has helped me understand my overlocker so much more. Many thanks Jamie

[@triciagill9245]

Jamie, you are the best instructor ever. Your tutorials superb 🤗😍

[@chrisfarnes1718]

Thanks so much for your videos, had sat and looked a my machine since taking it out of the box completely bamboozled on how to thread and use it. Very happy I now know how to thread my machine and do the basic stitches.

[@lunasmum6869]

Thankyou so much for your excellent videos. Like some others I have had my overlocker sat in the cupboard, a little scared of it. I wondered what the converter was for and, though it probably is in the manual, I couldn't find it! Lovely clear instructions and nice and slow so we don't lose the thread (sorry about the pun!) of what is being said.

[@tyrandyb4103]

I very much appreciate this video. I feel much more confident in using my serger now. Thank You!

[@ashleylovessuniverse]

Can’t thank you enough for your videos they’ve been lifesavers 😊

[@alisonwinter]

Thanks so much for this. My 11 year old machine is now finally getting used. 😊

[@janicevisger497]

You are such an AMAZING teacher!!! Thanks so very much for making this video!! I had somehow messed up the tension on my Singer Serger. I also wanted to learn how to do more stitching techniques with it. Now, I know!!! Thank you so very much!! ♡♡♡ Janice V. in Michigan, U.S.A.

[@lgracie33]

Brilliant Jamie....I got a Silvercrest 2 years ago, tried my utmost to follow the book.....stitches were loose/ first the front then the back then all over the place etc......ended up putting it back in the box. I was asked to make Doggie raincoats for a StrayHaven rescue centre here in Paphos, Cyprus this winter so got the dreaded machine back out of the box and searched the net for problems, came across your videos and Halehlulia ! So if you and your family ever come to Cyprus, look us up......I owe you a pint and probably a medal 😂

[@littleyellowfish85]

Thank you so much for this video! I was gifted the same overlocker that you are using and sadly it didn't come with instructions so I've gone in blind! I mostly quilt using my sewing machine but have ventured into dressing so i am looking forward to getting to grips with my overlocker!

[@kathleenbuffam6020]

Hi Jamie thank you for a. fantastic video I have a Memory Craft Compulock I've had it 18yrs, done basic overlock stitches, went on a one day course, got samples, hardly ever use it, i've alway been frighten to alter the tensions and experiment with it, in case I could not get it back to the right settings, I'm not very good at understanding manuals, I did not no what the upper and lower looper meant, you have explained it so well, thank you so much, looking forward to some more tutorial.

[@mariafarren3964]

Just a brilliant talented and gifted teacher. Excellent clear instructions wich makes understanding everything so easy.

[@marciathomas5479]

Many, many, many thanks for uploading this excellent, very simple and easy to following tutorial. I desperately wanted to buy a Serger Machine for a long time, but have been reluctant to do so as I was in awe of threading and maintaining the machine - even though I have been professional taught how to do so. Having watched your other video showing the basics and threading, of the Singer 14H754 Overlocker, I became confident that I could now buy this mach and maintain it with ease. I bought a Serger 14SH754 and followed your instructions on how to thread it. The first time I did it something went wrong. I patiently and timely followed your instructions step by step and BINGO my machine works perfectly. I can't thank you enough.

[@zione2153]

Thank you so much you have make my day and I have to start my sewing proudly now..you have answered to all my questions... God bless you

[@lidimarmaia2185]

Acho que foi o melhor tutorial, mesmo não entendendo nada de inglês, a compreensão foi perfeita. Comprei a minha ultralook tá com duas semanas e ainda não sei regular os pontos, acho que agora vai. Obrigada.

[@bernadettegoddard6416]

Just brought this machine from Aldi so thank you for all the help.

[@taj9000]

Very useful video, I have the same overlock machine it's really complicated but with your help I am trying to learn how to use it thank you so much

[@allaafanasyeva8575]

Awesome video. So many little secrets which i didn't know. Thank you soooo much for your video. I was completely helpless without your videos. Especially the first one with overlooking. Just wanted to let you know how much we need you, and how much your explanation is important for us.

[@callibea]

Well after over a year of not using my overlocker, cos I could not get my mojo active enough to work out how to rethread it....SUCCESS...even though it is Janome and not a Singer....which shows how good a tutorial it is. Thank you so much Sir for your video, which I think is a perfect tutorial....clear, succinct, uses simple terms so must would be able to follow it & bloomin well effective. I hope you are still sewing & would love to see more tutorials from you. Added to my Pintrest account.

[@eCoach7]

I’m thinking of buying this very machine, but after reading online reviews, I’m afraid I won’t be able to master it. Thank you for this clear, concise, informative video, seems very doable now.

[@AzizaTyler]

You will don’t worry about go for it!

[@diandjohn4]

Thank you for your video. I've been learning about flatlock seams because I want to use it to hem my first (newbie) Tshirt-Tunic. My problem is couldn't find any instruction about which thread makes the ladder. I want the ladder on the right side of the material. Your video has been very helpful because your instructions were clear, and you used coloured thread which meant I could identify the ladder is made by the blue thread, which is the needle thread. Yipee! Thank you, thank you.

[@olufunmilayo5471]

New sub, I just stumbled on your channel and am really grateful to you for taken time to do this. God bless

[@desrieebeckford6075]

Thank you sir, you’re very good at explaining how to achieve these different stitches.

[@jenkelly416]

Watch the first blog to thread my lover locker you were great, ready for this tutorial. What a great video for me to understand. Thanks .

[@joannahajdas2640]

Great explanation! Thank you for all Singer overlock movies!

[@alisonpelling1628]

Best video I have seen on the overlocker, thank you

[@jessicawilliams1620]

Hello I'm a new subscriber and I just receive my new singer serger 14sh754. These videos are a life saver. Thank you

[@mellownie8197]

Oh thank you... I did not find one single video in german that explains this much about overlock stitches and also what the converter does (in my discribtionbook it only explains how to put it in but not why i would need it 🤦🏻‍♀️) or how to change the roll into flat stitch... I will definetly try to sew more on it now 😊

[@boollyboolly]

Singer should be paying you for this! Brilliant tutorial.

[@boollyboolly]

I'm now looking for some stretch material so I can do a flat lock seam!! That blew my mind 😂🏃🏼‍♀️

[@belindakramers]

Really super great video! Thank you so much. I was struggling the whole afternoon. Now I can use this old machine, which I got from my neighbor. Again, thank you very much!

[@spx8jkb]

Glad it helped! Thank you!

[@mimis2009V]

Excellent video, now I know more, thank you Jamie.

[@jeanblunn3161]

This is so helpful - so clearly explained for a complete beginner like me!

[@conieds1991]

I like the demonstration. Its clear and step by step.

[@ccorr4667]

Excellent demonstration. Much easier than the manual. Thank you

[@heatherhepple634]

I've just started sewing recently, bought this machine and didn't know where to start. Not sure what I would have done without this video and the previous one. (Possibly, left it in the box) Thank you so much.

[@maurynetremblay7260]

Lecture. En français. Merci

[@veronicanovitzke1295]

Wow! Thank You again! Your videos are appreciated. 🤗

[@jesshothersall]

I didn't realise some seams were done purely by changing the tension and/or needle. I've only had my overlocker for a week, and assumed until I saw this, that tension had to be just right for the fabric (like a sewing machine) rather than for the stitch required. Many thanks!

[@marycummings5204]

Thank you Jamie For doing these thinking of buying this machine from lidl have got a jaguar machine. And really didn't know these overlockers could do so much keep posting these up have liked and subscribed

[@OnlineMathsAcademy]

Wow thank you, I am new to overlockers and been using 4 threads, so this is really helpful!

[@Liguorienne]

Awww men i have wanted to do this flat lock seam, i didn’t know that it was call like that, but now i will be able to do it. Thank you so much

[@ikramoub6622]

Please don't stop making videos this is so helpful 🙏🙏🙏 thankyou sooo much

All this time I’ve been doing it wrong. Thank you for correcting me. Now I will use it a lot more.
