Yang Yu Hong on Instagram: "2 Quick Overlocker Tricks 1 - Instant Hemming With the wrong side of your fabric facing up, roll your hem to your mark then roll it back on itself (to create a Z or S shape depending on how you look at it). Overlock the three layers together, give the seam a good press and you’re done! 2 - Increased Gathers With your overlocker in the gather setting and at maximum stitch length, run the edge of your fabric through. The initial gathers are done, but if you wanted to increase the gathering, find the middle thread of the stitch and pull it from one side to intensify the gather effect! Hope these tips helped, and as always, happy sewing! #sewing #fashiondesigner #sewingtips #upcycling #sewsewsew #fashiondesign" Sewing Gathers Tips, Overlocker Tips, Overlocker Projects, Gathering Stitch, Serger Tips, Sewing Hems, Serger Sewing, Sewing Easy Diy, Fabric Sewing Patterns

Annie Stafford - Learn to sew on Instagram: "❗️No overlocker, no problem❗️ Have you ever used your sewing machine to overlock your fabric? Well now you can 🙌🏼 In this sewing tutorial I show you how to overlock the edge of your fabric to get a “mock overlocked” look. The trick here is to sew as close as you can to the edge of the fabric, this allows you to pull off any loose threads to make it look overlocked. This sewing hack has come in super useful for me when working with fabric such as this cotton canvas, and is a great way to stop your fabric from fraying. 🦋However if you are going to work with knits and don’t have access to an overlocker, there are other alternatives such as a zig-zag stitch, or a stretch threads. 🦋 If you enjoyed this reel, make sure to like, save and fol How To Use An Overlocker, Overlock Stitch On Sewing Machine, Sewing Machine Hacks, Overlocker Projects, Zig Zag Stitch, Sewing Tips And Tricks, Overlock Machine, Sewing Tricks, Shirt Tutorial

Julia Hincks on Instagram: "Want to know how to create a rolled hem on your #overlocker or #serger ? It’s super easy!! ✂️✂️✂️ I’m using a Janome 9102D but this technique will work on any machine. Simply follow these steps: 1. Shorten the stitch length to 1.5 or use the ‘R’ setting 2. Increase the tension on the lower looper (this will pull the upper looper stitches over the edge of the fabric and round to the underside, rolling the fabric edge.) 3. Use a narrow stitch setting: Remove the left needle and the stitch finger. (Check your manual on how to do this) 4. Use a woolly nylon in the upper looper. This will give better coverage of the raw edge and a softer finish.(Regular thread will work too) Try it out!! ✂️✂️✂️ #overlockertips #sergertips #overlockerrolledhem #sergerrolledhem #ove Rolled Hem Serger, Overlocker Tension, Serger Stitches, Serger Tips, Overlock Machine, Overlock Stitch, Tension Setting, Over The Edge, Shortening
