Tutorial - How to Bury Serger Threads

Aug 23rd, 2007

This is a quick trick I learned in a ‘How to User Your Serger’ class I took at Esther’s. It was taught by my friend Johanna Branley. The BEST money I’ve ever spent on a class. If you don’t know everything you should about your serger, seek out a class at a local shop. I’d owned mine for 5 years before learning to use it. It’s never too late!

[…] A little photo tutorial on how to bury serger threads. This is a quick trick I learned in a ‘How to Use Your Serger’ class I took at Esther’s. It was taught by my friend Johanna Branley. The best money I’ve EVER spent on a class. Johanna has the most amazing talent of being able to thread and operate any brand of serger.

I do something similar - but I use a tapestry needle, run the threads down an inch or so, double back about 1/4 to 3/8 inch, then run them down another inch or so. Clip and it seems to stay pretty well! Neat trick (and definitely better than unraveling!)

I have no intelligent guess as to what you’re making… a book cover? knitting needle case? an apron?

This looks really neat but for the dummies like me—what is the neat little tool you are using to bury the surger thread. And where do you get them?
thanks.

Edie: They’re called loop turners. I’ve never had much luck using them for that purpose (my fabric always seems to slip off before the loop is pulled all the way through) but they work great for pulling through the serger threads. Here’s a link to a picture of it on Denver Fabrics:
