On behalf of expertvillage.com my name is Neal Jones and I’m with A Perfect Fit Alterations,
102 Main Street, Burleson in historic old town Burleson, Texas 817-447-3522 is our phone
number. Continuing with our threading with our serger we now come to our upper threads
which are controlled by the needles. Now we again have the same situation where we have
a tower and this time we’re going to deal with the two threads together because they’re
exactly the same except that they’re split up into two different thread spools. We’re
going to come through the tension devices, we’re going to come through the adjustable
tension devices and again we have guides here, now these guides are just so very important
I can’t emphasize that enough how important it is to make sure because if this thread
were not through that guide it would affect the sewing, the quality of the stitch it may
even not make the stitch. Now as the thread goes through here behind this little cover
the thread would follow this path right here, there is a take up lever inside there which
would take up the slack when the thread is being, the stitch is being made, as we come
down through here again another guide and here another guide and here another guide
and then the thread would go down and go through the eyes of the needle. Now let me point out
here that we have something that is again a very big difference from a regular sewing
machine and that’s that this machine will sew and make the stitch without having fabric
in the machine, now a regular is not recommended that we sew without fabric in it but in this
particular case we have what we call a chain off, now we have a stitch that we can show
right here which if you look at that carefully you can see all the colors in there that we
have up here and this is the stitch that would be on the fabric. But we call it a chain because
it generates the stitch without having fabric through there and it’s one of the unique
features of a serger as opposed to a regular sewing machine.
