Video tutorial: Changing serger thread the easy way

by

Does the idea of changing the thread on your serger bring about fits of anxiety?  Jessica from Running With Scissors shares a video tutorial showing the easy way to do it.  Rather than breaking out the threading diagram and the tweezers, she ties the new thread to the old thread and pulls it through.  Get the video tutorial to see how it’s done.

  1. I used to do this… then the man who cleans and repairs my 7 machines (2 of which are sergers) said not to , when you run the knot through the tension mechanism, continually like that, it springs the tension springs… makes them go out of whack . eventually you will have to have them adjusted or replaced… and that is not cheap.
    Now, I just thread them.. don’t want to ruin my machine

DIY Shirt Extender – Sewing Pattern

I like having a little extra coverage when I wear leggings, but I could never find a cute top that was just the right length. So I decided to make this Easy Sew Shirt Extender! This is so simple to sew and is an easy sewing project for beginners. It is easy to layer under your shirt or top of choice and I added some lace trim to mine for a fancier look. You can mix and match colors and fabrics to suit your needs!
