Ever want to pull your hair out because your serger threads "don't look right"? Complete this simple sewing exercise, and you'll never wonder which dial you need to touch!
You are an amazing teacher! I was just watching How-To-Videos from Expert Village, and I was pulling my hair out, because the guy was so boring. You got right to point and I learned exactly what I wanted to (Instead of how "conveniently located" the "on" switch is.) You're videos are now my go-to for learning new sewing techniques. Thankyou.
I recently brought a new sewing machine & seger & have to say there still in the box because i was so frustrated with getting the tension right i gave up. The instructions that came with them may aswell come from another planet.
After viewing your video i feel so much more confident. Your advice makes total sense.
I have the same question as sw13644: does it matter where the dials are set for the threads you aren't concentrating on? Also, would the type/weight of fabric affect the tension settings? Or, will your tension settings remain the same forever?
When I first got my server, youtube barely existed and I didn't know anyone who had one, so I used it a couple of times and then the threads went wrong somehow and it took me hours to get it going again, having tracked down the manual. This is a really excellent technique for understanding the effects of the thread tensions, but I have one question. If I was altering the tension of a thread for the mapping, what setting should the threads which are not being altered be set to? Thanks.

I also have the same question as sw13644 - how should you set the tension dials for the threads you are not testing?
