Learning To Use a Serger
So many other women have told me that they own a serger but they never use it. Either they can't figure out how to thread it correctly or change out the needles by themselves and whenever some little something-or-other goes wrong the only thing they can do is to take their serger to a repair shop. Then, after getting hit by a big repair bill once ( Read more... )

Even very young girls have been observed (clinically) talking themselves through a task, either reciting what they're doing as they do it, or figuring it out as they go along with a lot of "If this [goes this way]' or "If this [goes here], then----" or, "Put the red piece there; does the blue piece go next to it? ---No; what fits in there? This wheel?"
I do this sort of thing all the time although you'll rarely hear me speaking. I do talk to myself internally, forming sentences reminding me or instructing myself.

In college/university, my fingers raced across the pages of my spiral-bound notebooks trying to record almost every syllable the professor/s uttered.

I'd find my way to doing whatever it was I was trying to learn.
Making all those notes help too.

I need to unscrew mom's and undo where its jammed I can see it in there.
once its threaded right - to change threads cut old up near spool and tie a tiny knot cut off tails, gently pull new thread by the old one, all the way thru the needles and then you can proceed

at the sewing jobs.
sewing with nancy had the best videos on sergers.
