    I am ashamed to say, in all my years of sewing, I have never changed the oil. Will do that tomorrow. Thank you so much. ❤️🌹🐝

    I have never seen a serger at work before. Very complicated. There must be quite a learning curve. But it seems to be the tool for the job.

    watching you use the rotary cutter on that long run without a straight edge gave me so much anxiety 😂

    Hey just to remind you You forget to tighten the needle screw after taking out the left needle

    I just tighten the screw again when I put the left needle back in, if I tighten it, I’ll just have to re-loosen it again and then tighten it again later.

    I leave the thread tails long in both ends and then pull the threads tight right at the edge of the fabric and clip them very close, with this style of serge the stitches are already so close together that it stays well intact.
