I use my serger a lot, but generally just for finishing seams, so it's unlikely that there will be many serger only projects; it's just not what my machine gets used for.

Hi Melly. This is the BEST video I've watched on KZitem. I always wondered how to make this decorative border with the serger. ok! The blade has to be lifted. Another precious tip is to stretch the stitches I learnt so much in a few minutes by watching your video on decorative border. thought the serger ONLY CUTS. 😁😁😁 Thanks for sharing and caring. Big hugs to your little handsome model. Maybe he's 3 years now. 👍👍👍🎅🎅🎅💕💕💕 Wish you all the best and Happy Holidays. May your dreams come TRUE

Thank you for this video! Do you know if it is possible to assemble the regular way with a 4 thread overlock and then use the flatlock to finish the seam on the outside like a coverstitch just to get that decorative look when sewing leggings?
@Mellysews
Жыл бұрын
No, you would have a really thick double seam if you did that. If you want a fake overstitch look you'd need to do the flat lock for the assembly.

What is the main purpose of flatlock really? Its like and edging but its just flat?
@Mellysews

It is a stretchy seam that keeps the fabric flat instead of creating a seam allowance that flaps around.

If I wanted the ladder stitch to be on the Right side so ribbon could be pulled thru the stitches? Would I just double fold the hem to the right side, and do everything else the same? Or have I totally missed something about the flat lock hem? This was easy to follow and a great vid, but I can confuse me sometimes.

Whichever side you want the ladder part to be on should be the side folded together.

🤔Would you use this stitch to sew leggins? is it strong enough to not rip apart in the middle of a squat? 😂
@Mellysews
Жыл бұрын
I personally would not use this on the crotch seams of leggings - I just don't trust anything but the strongest stitching there. But I would on any other seam as long as the tension is exactly right, which, depending on your machine and specific fabric, can be tricky. So practice with scraps of the leggings fabric first to make sure you've got it set just right.
