    Someone posted a link further down in the comments. June 2016 I think. The link is for Tipnut.com. They have patterns for appliance covers to sew or crochet. Really good ideas. I have to make a KitchenAid cover and one for my instant pot, as well. Now all I need the the gumption to make them. Lol

    When I saw 6 ideas for the kitchen I hoped one was a cover for the kitchen aid mixer. Your others gave me ideas and I thank you for that. Keep up the good work.

      the hardest thing about a serger is threading it ! actually using it is a breeze. study your manual for threading. just go for it ! I’ve had a serger now for

      I have a Husquevarna serger in my closet. Behind the door! Fear of threading. You are not alone. A tutorial would be great especially for those of us who don’t have “easy” threaders.

      • Su Franklin

        I have a Husquevarna serger, too, and I find it easier to thread following the chart behind the little door at the bottom. Once you get it threaded, just tie new threads to the old ones and pull them gently until they come to the needle.

      Same here..paid $900 for it and used it twice. The threading drives me crazy. Should sell it.

        There might be a Husqvarner Viking sewing gallery near you. Many are located inside Joann’s craft stores. They offer classes for their sergers.

        Try using headphones or a good set of earbuds to listen to the videos. It makes a world of difference.

          Sorry it mostly does not. Many hearing need closed capton in order to understand the sound. Louder does not really help.
