Learn Your Serger Overlock Machine with Ease

What Machine Models Will be Covered?

The threading demonstrations will feature the Janome 644D, Janome 234D, and Baby Lock Acclaim models. However, the techniques used should be applicable to most domestic Serger Overlock Machines.

If the inside of your machine resembles the model shown here, you will be able to apply the demonstrated threading techniques. These methods are compatible with machines from Brother, Juki, Singer, Bernina, Husqvarna, Pfaff, Elna, Toyota, and others. The same applies for any model that is ‘self threading’ and has an air lock.

The same principles apply to adjusting the tension. If your machine has adjustable tension dials, you can use the techniques demonstrated to achieve the perfect tension.

"Thank You for a great course! I can’t believe I have mastered the twin needle. It’s brilliant. I’ve always been too scared to try. I love it and also learning how to grade the pattern for a perfect fit. Even my husband thinks my first cuppa tee is lovely. Fabric was from my stash. Again thank you so much 😊"

About Megan, Your Sewing Teacher:

Hey there, I’m Megan, your go-to sewing guide and fellow lover of all things creative.

For over two decades, I’ve been immersed in the wonderful world of sewing, honing my skills and uncovering the secrets to getting the most from my serger overlock machine. But let me tell you, it hasn’t always been a smooth ride. Like you, I’ve faced my fair share of threading tangles and tension nightmares.

But guess what? I’ve conquered those challenges, and now I’m here to help you do the same. Picture me as your sewing fairy godmother, waving my magic wand (or in this case, a trusty seam ripper) to guide you through every stitch and seam.

My passion is helping you unleash your inner sewing superstar. I want to help you turn those frustrating moments into triumphant victories, one perfectly stitched project at a time.

Most domestic Serger (Overlocker) machines have very similar threading mechanism, so even if your specific model is not shown, you should be able to pick up invaluable tips to help you thread your own machine.
