This is so brilliant Sara! I don't have a serger so these tips are very helpful to me. Did I spot the little pouch I embroidered for you in the background? 👀🥰🥰
Hehe I'm glad you find my video helpful!!🥰 YES I'm treasuring the embroidered pouch you gave me! 😘😘💕
I know. I’m still a beginner at sewing machines. I always hand stitch.
Straight to the point, no excessive talking, teaching by showing. Amazing!
Thanks for your positive feedback! 🥰
excellent ; now I don't need to buy one. Have all these stitches on my machine. Who would have thought this would be what I needed all along; ie. your video....
Haha! I'm glad to hear! 😉❤
I’m so happy I finally found something so easy to help me as a beginner. I’m so new to sewing and always wonder how do professional makes the serger look so nice and simple. Thank you so much for sharing this. I’m going to save this video for future reference ❤
You are so welcome! Happy to help! 🫶
I like your quick video format and style on this one. This video was very helpful for me, thank you.
I don't even own a sewing machine, but here I am watching this calming content with my morning coffee.
Hehe thank you for stopping by! Hope my video was well harmonized with your coffee time!😊
@@SewingTherapy It was a lovely way to start my day.
Thank you so much! I was looking at spending tons of money but now I just need the overlock foot!
This was incredibly informative and also relaxing 😌
Thank you for watching! I'm glad you found it relaxing!😄❤
this really does feel like therapy! thank you.
Glad you think so!🤭
I can’t wait to see your next video! It’s already so helpful :)
Thank you, Zemma!❤
Thank you for easy explanation! My machine doesnt have the second edger foot stitch but I think first stitch will work.
My mother used to do this whenever she made anything. Unfortunately I never had the forethought to learn from her. Never did understand how she got that serged edge. Thank you. That first representation is what she did 99% of the time.
I am glad that it helps Christy. Always be safe and stay healthy! 🙂
I actually did consider doing something like this when I first learned to sew, but I felt like it would be wasting thread if I did the zig zag and then also did a straight line too. But I guess that is the only way to do it, lol 😆
I'm also in Vancouver!! Love to support local creators. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for your support!
Just found you and I have the 4452 singer . Thank you loving your videos thanks for the closeups so helpful.
This is the best video I've seen about this. So simple and clear and easy to see.. I also love the peaceful aesthetic too💕🍃.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked my video! ❤
Thank you very much!! I will be using the stitches because I do not have a serger. Thank you as well for showing what presser foot to use!!
Thank you 😊. I’m making a summer top and your sewing videos help me to learn about sewing.
Yay! Happy to hear! Happy sewing!
I am getting back into clothing sewing. I am really enjoying your videos!
Thank you for this video! I liked both but I think the overcast presser foot is a tighter stitch. I can’t wait to try it.
I really like how u did the zigzag stitch. To all the videos I saw, only your idea make sense to me. Thank you!
I'm so glad to hear! ❤
I don't have the space or funds for a serger, I'm super happy to see there's a decent alternative for what I need. Thank you
Excellent!!!! So happy I found your channel!
Very nice instruction. I use your fourth and final method, extremely close to the edge. Thank you!
Excellent!! 👍👍
Thank you for your easy to follow and beautiful sewing videos! I am just getting back into sewing after many years and feel I have a trusted guide. I’m very grateful for what you share!
Welcome back! I’m so glad to hear how you feel about my videos! 💕
Overcast foot??? Brilliant!! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing these ideas through your video.
Thank you! I’m new to sewing and I happen to have the same singer so this helped me out so much
Great! 👍👍👍
Great information (thank you!) very clear and short demonstration. You answered my question 😊💐
I’m glad to hear my video answered your answer! ☺️👍Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing this is such a great help. I had embroidered a baby blanket and i needed to finish the edges. And like you said i didnt want to go and spend a crazy amount on a machine i might just use a fee times. And i saw your video. I had a 💡go off lol. Now i have a way to do it. Thank you!
I'm glad you've found my video helpful! Specially at this moment, the machines are hard to come by and the price is ridiculous!
Thank you! This was so informative 😃 🇨🇦
You're welcome! Glad you found my video helpful!
Thank you for the video! This is the most detailed demonstration on how to serge with just a sewing machine.
Thanks for watching! Just hoping my video helped!
Amazing video! Now I know what the s1 and s2 are on my machine, and I can save $200! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this video! The shots of the settings you use on your sewing machine were the cherry on top. So helpful. Can’t thank you enough.
Aww So sweet of you to give me such feedback! Glad to hear it helped!❤
I love your channel. I was thinking of purchasing a serger but now I can wait.
Awesome! Thank you!
Hey Sara! Thank you so much! This video helps alot. Been battling to own a serger machine but most of them are too expensive. Thank you!! 💕
I'm glad to hear!! ❤❤
This was SO helpful! Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for this video! ❤️ I have been struggling with the finishing of the edges for quite a while now. You've helped me very very much with these tricks. Thanks again 🙏
You're welcome! So glad to hear my video was helpful!😉
You are the first video I have watched where you do the double overlock. THANK YOU!!!
No problem! Hope this helps!
I just ran across your video & loved it, it was what I needed! I am a 72 year old guy who just started sewing and can use this information. Thanks so much!
Wonderful! I hope you enjoy your new hobby! 🙌
This video was so helpful, thank you so much!
Thank you for your very helpful video. My friends who own Sergers have been telling what nice clean edges I can get with a Serger compared to my Singer Sewing Machine. I use a very short stitched zigzag and it works fine. As of now the fabrics I work with are for my home. Drapes, blinds of various styles and I never work with stretchy fabrics as I've told them many times. It is a few years away for the grandbabies to start arriving so I have time to wait and watch for a good used Serger. I can now say that I received expert advice and all I need to do is buy a new presser foot. Thank you for saving me a small fortune and the headache of learning how to thread and maintain yet another machine.
This is amazing thank you so much for this tutorial! I’m working with frayed edges and want a professional look! I will try out these methods I’m so excited!
😁 Thanks for watching! Hope my method helps on what you want to achieve!
You might have noticed how careful she is not to force the fabric into the feed nor to pull it from the back. The machine is going backwards and forwards on the last two overcast stitches. She is just guiding the fabric and letting the machine feed it at it's own speed.
Sara, thanks so much for your videos they are a real help! ❤
I'm so glad to hear ! Happy sewing! 🤍
Thank you! As a beginner, I haven’t tackled making a shirt from scratch yet. After watching a bunch of tutorials I was disappointed to see that everyone was using a serger. This is great!
Having a serger makes all sewing process much easier but this method can be a substitute! ☺️
The overcast presser foot is a genius creation i am still not great at sewing thanks for this. Video you are 🔑 💖
😊💛 I'm glad to hear!
Thanks for this video. I don't have a serge & I have several presser feet that I don't know how to use. Thanks again!
You're welcome! Stay tuned as I'm planning on making more videos on the presser feet!😉
Thank you for the tips, was very helpful.
So helpful and simple to understand. 😊can’t wait to try it
Thank you very much! I am glad the tutorial helps!
thanks, i had this foot and never used it, tried to do over lock stitches with plain foot. thank you
Brilliant!! Thanks so much for sharing.
You're welcome! Hope this tutorial helps!

Thank you so much for this video. Purchasing another machine after spending so much on my Juki was a limiting factor for me when I started thinking about sewing some apparel for myself.
You are so welcome!☺️
Thank you. This is good information to know.

Thank you Lisa!!💐
Thanks for your video I appreciate it. I think the best way to search without serger is with a serger foot for the current machine that you have.
Hi Sarah, thank you darling ! You are awesome !!!

Thank you so much for showing the various stiches on different Singer machines! I am trying to decide the best Singer machine to buy and this just helped a lot! Do you have tutorials on how to sew t-shirts on a Singer Heavy Duty machine? Or which Singer machine do you recommend for this? Thanks so much!
This is very nice.... Have all this stitches..... 😍👍
Extremely helpful thankyou so much! 🙏🌠
You're so welcome! Glad my video was helpful!
Thank you for the new ideas!
So far, I've been using the overcast foot while zigzagging along the edge. I haven't needed to cut off the edge after doing this.
@kimberlycooper4170, thanks for sharing. I was wondering if I could use the overcast foot if my sewing machine does not have the other stitiches she used after the zig zag and straight stitch
@ChiamakaKathryn I use it all the time for sewing bag straps because it gets really close to the edge.
thank you , that was very helpful

You're welcome!
Very useful!!!👍🏻👍🏻
I'm glad you find it useful!😘
Great video, and know is half the battle, thanks
Yes I actually purchased a kit of presser feet which included an overcast foot for my older (1981) Singer 860. I prefer to use the stitch you used (2nd from last one illustrated) as it makes a nicely finished edge. The foot helps to keep the stitching even from side to side - much better than trying to use the all-purpose foot that came with the machine. Thank you for demonstrating these techniques as I do not have the space to also have a serger in my sewing area.
🙌🙌🫶
Super video! 🤗 thanks 👍
Thanks for watching!
Anther wonderful video. I’ve been zig-zagging right at the edge of my seam but frays the edge of fabric while enclosing it. Your version solves that problem with a more secure, professional look. I’m going to sit down at my machine and sample your three non-serger finishes. Thank you.
Glad to hear you solved the issu after watching my video! 😊 Thanks for watching!
...me too 🙂
So helpful, thank you!
You're so welcome! 👍🤎
This is so helpful! Thank you sooooo much!

Thank you so much, I will definitely use them 👍💛💯
I hope these methods work for you!

We have the same machine! Been dreaming of getting the Juki serger with vacuum but the price is just too much. I’m getting the overlock presser foot for now✨ thanks for the video!
Serger with vacuum sounds amazing though!😅
