  • Are you able to serge fabric with a regular sewing machine?

  • While I have never used the Baby Lock Protege, I have had the Baby Lock Eclipse, Imagine Wave, & now the Evolve, and while I know they are far more expensive than the Protege, if you are new to serging, and have any way you can swing it, I would keep an eye on Ebay for an Eclipse ( appx. $500), Imagine ($700 to with wave $1,515), Evolve ($800) those are average prices, they vary. Protege should be OK too, just more work.

  • This instructor does a great job of teaching, while sewing samples, so students can actually understand what she is talking about. Good job!

  • I loved your video.I'm looking forwards to purchase a serger for my projects finishings.

  • @DIYFashionSewing - You are the best! I did all three suggestions. It was the adjusting looper threads that did the trick. Now I"m ready to finish the sweater project for my daughter. I make a reference card with settings for every piece I've sewn for future references. I love your suggestion with the 15-inch long fabric with the stitch numbers to find the balanced stitch! Thanks for your help!

    My best guess is that the sweater fabric, since it's thicker, is moving away from the edge (or slipping to the left). I would try setting the differential feed to a higher level, increasing the width of the serger stitch, and then adjusting looper threads if you need to.

    Let me know how it goes! Susan

  • Hi I have a question about setting for serging a sweater. My setting are balanced on cotton fabric but when I'm testing a stitch for a sweater fabric. The upper & lower switches are off of the fabric. What am I doing wrong?

  • Thanks for the video :)

  • I like the video. Very helpful. I'm looking to purchase babylock protege. Do you have any comments on this serger?
