Jeane Howell replied to the discussion 'Alteration help with pants needed' in the group Everything Sewing!
Thank you, I will try that. The weight loss is intentional & I have a long way to go. I suppose I'm
going to learn about alteration since I have a closet full of clothes in various sizes. Much better to
resize those than to spend money for…

Hello Jeane, congrats on the weight loss, Hope it was intentional. Depending on the pants style, try taking the pants in at the crotch seam, this shortens the cener back and center front seams and takes fullnes out of the leg......may not work with…

Not having an air threader serger, I didn't know woolly nylon wouldn't go through the threaders that way.
Thanks for the information

My brother serger has suction cups on the bottom. Now I know why. :)
jodijean replied to the discussion 'Electronic sergers vs mechanial sergers' in the group Serger Users
the problem with wooly nylon is that there really isn't any body to it so you can't push it into the holes for the air jet threaders ... you just have to tie it to existing thread ... but most serger users do that most times they have to…

Not having to thread the machine in any order sounds very much easier than the others. Thanks for the
info.

In what way is the woolly nylon trickier than using other threads with your serger? The Babylock really
seems to be a pleaser. When I can, I'm going to look into that.

haha ... i'm tempted to go time it, but i took it in to be serviced and oiled (nothing wrong i just use it a LOT!) so ... it'll have to wait til i get it back ...

if you have a problem with "bouncy" machines (of any make or model) just put some of the gripper shelf-liner stuff (i got mine at the dollar store) ... definately keeps those machines from moving while you put the pedal to the metal!!
jodijean replied to the discussion 'Electronic sergers vs mechanial sergers' in the group Serger Users
you can use any thread in the babylock ... it's trickier to use wooly nylon ... but it still works
jodijean replied to the discussion 'Electronic sergers vs mechanial sergers' in the group Serger Users
um ... i have a babylock imagine (with the air jet technology) and i can thread my machine in under a minute ... i've never timed it, but it's FAST!

Well, I see that I left out what I thought was such a good idea. It's taking the picture of the
threaded serger. That's so logical with those digital cameras. Thanks again.
Jeane Howell replied to the discussion 'Electronic sergers vs mechanial sergers' in the group Serger Users
What a terrific idea. The best ideas,like this one, are those that make you think why didn't I think of that.
Thanks so much.
Laurie C. Fowler replied to the discussion 'Electronic sergers vs mechanial sergers' in the group Serger Users
I took my digital camera and put it on "close up" and took photos of my serger that was already threaded when I bought it. I use it alot, but seldom have to thread it from start. The knotting thing usually works so I just pull the thread…

Thank you for your instructions. They have been printed & I will work on them later this month.
