Decode The Stitch
🪡 Go from Serger Stumped to Serger Savvy! Whether you’re brand new to serging or you've owned your machine for years but still feel unsure, this class will help you truly get how your serger works — and why.
We’ll take a deep dive into:
- The anatomy of overlock stitches and how they’re constructed
- How to choose the right needle and stitch for different fabric types and projects
- What to do when a pattern calls for a specific seam allowance (like ¼”)
- Understanding tension (yes, even auto tension!) and how to adjust it with confidence
- Stitch width, differential feed, and other critical settings — demystified
- Common machine issues and how to fix (and avoid) them
- Best practices for keeping your serger running smoothly
You’ll leave this class with a newfound confidence in reading your serger’s stitches, choosing the right one for the job, and keeping your machine in top condition.
🧵 Let’s take the mystery out of your machine — together.
I demonstrate on the BERNINA L890 however the principles of how the feet and attachments are the same for all machine brands and models. Questions are always welcome at gail@gailpatrice.com.
