  • 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.

  • Susan, You are a god send!

    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.

    Keep the videos coming.

    Thanks a million!

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

  • 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.

  • This video is so helpful. Thank you very much

  • This is so PERFECT!! Thank you so much. Love, LOVE, Love your video!

  • WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!! I have returned 2 sergers because I thought they were broken. Now I can keep the one I have. Thanks.

  • Thanks so much for this, great tip and explanation.

  • wow, this woman is a scientist!, great, makes sense.
