I’ve watched 7 other videos and they were not helpful! THANK YOU for a clear, understandable, detailed explanation. Much appreciated 😊
You're very welcome! x
Thanks that was very helpful. Clear instructions. Look forward to your next lesson 👍
Glad it was helpful! x
Very clear instructions. Helped me enormously
Glad it helped! Thank you! x
Thank you! This is the best explanation I’ve seen.
Thank you, Glad it was helpful! x
Excellent video. Very clear. Never used the rolled hem feature but I will try mine
Thank you Jan, glad you found it helpful. x
Thank you for the lesson I dont feel my manual helps me know what to do, so seeing all of the changes is great!
You are so welcome! x
Hi there, a newbie with my overlocker and scared..really scared to use it.. hee hee, but i have to do it sometime. I just love your tutorials, easy and kind to the brain! thank you!
Regards, Debi Thomas from South Africa!
Aww thank you Debi! Good luck! x
Exactly what I’ve been looking for - thank you :)
Glad I could help in some way. X
This is a fab video! I recently bought an older model Janome and I was hating it until a saw this. So helpful 👍
Aww thank you so much! x
Thank you for posting this, I was going to buy a rolled hen foot for my Bernina at the next NEC show but you've just saved me some money. I have the same overlocker as you and was unsure about the rolled gem 👍🏼 looking forward to the next lesson already 😁
Annabelle Carling Glad to be of service! Just use some scraps to experiment and one point I didn't mention was that different fabrics might need different tensions, but just have a go and you'll love it!
Loving your videos as I didn't know it was possible to make cushion covers etc with my Overlocker, I thought it was only for finishing seams.
Aww yey, glad I helped in some way. Happy sewing! x
Thank you for this video 👍
My pleasure! x
You are my angel. I just found your tutorial and I just bought my serger today. And your tutorial helps me a lot. Thank you so. Much. God bless!
Aww thank you so much Michelle! Glad I could help. x
If you put the differential feed to "'R" of "Rolled hem" the stitches will be more tighter similar to satin stitches. Even though the instructions say "Only the right hand needle is used for rolled hem" I don't think so.👍👍👍 Thanks for sharing.
Yes there are many other ways to use the settings to how you like.x
Really good tutorial as a new Overlocker owner. I got confused with threading my machine so thankyou. My only irritating point is PLEASE get rid of the background whistling... its unnecessary.
Glad it helped and sorry it was filmed years ago and I can't remove the music now. x
Thanks heaps for this...I've had my overlocker sitting there for a couple months because I've been too scared to use it!
Aww Thank you Michelle! Good luck using it! x
Fantastic video!! I always learn so much watching you Jess! X
Bea Palmer thank you, although my names actually Sophia- as my sister you should know that! 🙄
thank you , this is very helpful
Thank you Jen! :) x
Hi! Is there a lesson 3 or more that I'm not seeing. Just want to check that I'm not missing more of these Overlocker lessons that may be available.
You're right I never finished filming the 3rd lesson, but eventually I will go back to this as I've had LOADS of feedback on the original videos. TBC. x
Thank you!!!
Haha no problem Mary! :) x
Great tutorial,thank you thank you so much. I don't have one, but now not so scared 😳
That's all I can ask for Bree. I promise once you get one and you've had a play- you won't be able to live without it.
If you could please help me figure out what is wrong with my Serger (Janome) I will be very thankful. I have threaded all the 4 needles the right way but the 1st one on the right, the thread keeps coming out of the needle and even if it stays on, the stitches are very loose coz the thread isn’t getting caught in the stitching. Please help. 🙏
I know you sent this months ago so I hope you got it sorted. It's super hard to diagnose a problem without seeing the machine so I'd recommend taking it to a local engineer or sewing shop! x
Jess, you've bloody pulled it out of the sac here x
What is the difference between an over lock and sewing machine?
An overlocker basically finishes off fabrics in a more professional way. It cuts, finishes the edges and joins them. You don't need one at all, but very useful if you sew a lot of stretch fabrics.
My machine has totally stopped stitching ,I've re threaded right to left ,all tensions on no 3 .Stitch length 2.0 ,differential 1.0 .can anyone help
Oh no! Definitely sounds like a threading issue, triple check your threading. Could also be a blunt needle if it's been used a lot. x
Hi. Did you research which machine to get? Is £200 about right for a standard one? Thanks . Brenda from Walthamstow London
Hi Brenda, yes I wanted one that was user friendly and had a range of adjustable settings. Plus one that was easier to thread up. I paid £400 for mine, but yes they start at about £200. x
Hi Jess. Just came across your site. Really easy to watch and listen too. I'm waiting for the Jaguar 489 to come back into stock. Having researched overlockers for some time, I think the Jaguar seems very easy to thread as the whole front comes open. I'm a bit scared of using one but also very excited. Do you have any views on the Jaguar? I have subscribed, so look forward to more blogs from you. Regards Jackie
Hi Jackie, I've only ever used Janome overlockers, but I'm sure if you've researched it, it's a great choice. Happy serging! love Sophia x
Hi there
I am a total newbie and this was an awesome video.
Just a question if I may though - do you sew with your machine first then just overlock or do you not need the sewing machine with an overlocker. Thank you
I do both depending on what I'm making. All my jersey items are made on the overlocker, apart from the hems which I finish on my machine. x
@@Jessalli thank you so much
thank you. just got a 2nd hand overlocker the janome 634d the older version. it didn't come with any accessories. not even tweezers. please can you suggest any must haves. I didn't get any feet either!
Allison Duerden you won't need different feet, so don't worry about that! But tweezers are a must! Especially when threading up! Other than that you don't need anything, but a little oil is good to have! 😊
Hia, great video, thanks for sharing. I have this machine too. I am having trouble when hemming my jersey garments and using a twin needle. They just keep tunnelling. So I was wondering if there was a way of topstitching or hemming using this machine.? Hope you don't mind me asking. Xxx
I hate using twin needles. I always use my overlocker to finish the raw edge, then fold up, press the hem and then just use a neat zig zag on my machine to hem it. x
@angela best a Cover Stitch machine does that. It makes nice top stitched finished hems. The serger is great for seams. It’s handy to have both machines.
I got an over locker for Christmas and I was wondering what colour thread would show up on the right side of the fabric
Hi Phoebe, If you were serging with the fabric right side up, it would mostly be the left and right needles and the upper looper. But the lower looper does still show up a tiny bit as it holds it all together. The best thing to do is have all 4 threads the same colour as your fabric. :)
JessalliHandmade ok thank you I will give it a go
Jessalli, where can I find your other video on how to thread it? It doesn’t seem to follow on. Thanks 🤩
Hi, this is the link: czcams.com/video/l4GE0X_rLSI/video.html&lc=UgxkQnayk2-X71vnApF4AaABAg x
Thank you. Have you more than 2 lessons on You-Tube? If so, how do I view them?
You can click on my channel and you'll find all my videos.
Thanks for a great video. It's taken away the fear! I'm about to buy the same overlocker as you. Is it easy to overlock small things like cuffs please?
Yes definitely. It's still fiddly, but I make loads of baby clothes on mine. :) x
@@Jessalli thank you for reply. Very helpful . Keep up the videos as they are great
How do you set the 4 tension, mine is always has so much loosed threads?
The tension dials are all on the fronts of the thread tensioners at the top. They should be between 3&5 normally. But for different fabrics you may need to tweak it further. x
Syper 👍🤗
Maybe it would help me more if the lighting was not so bad (dark) and the video could actually focus on where exactly you are fiddling.
This is a very old video now. Might re-film it one day. 🧡
Hello jess may I know how much the machine price? I really love to sew but I dnt hav machine. .. I want to learn 😙😙😙
Florabel Lopez Hi, this is a Janome Overlocker and I think was around £400? If you’re talking about a sewing machine they can range from £50-£1000! 😊
JessalliHandmade Tnk u , 😙😙😙but can I ask a favour how much s dat n Philippine conversion or KWD...
Florabel Lopez I have no idea sorry- maybe try an online conversion? X 😊
What model is this
It's the Janome 6234XL x
I feel like I’m never going to get the tension correct.
You shouldn't mess with the tension too much. Only play with the differential feed. Great to practice on scraps first. x
