Hi, I’m Sue O’Very, but you can call me Sookie! 🐝 I’ve spent 25 years helping folks feel confident with their sergers and that is what this channel is ALL about--SERGERS.
Tired of fighting to get your needle threaded? 😫 This tiny tool will change everything — and yes, it works on both your serger and your sewing machine! ✨ Come see how simple it really is: https://youtu.be/XpTs-sGjWhM
💛 Catherine’s story is such a great reminder that a few small adjustments can make a huge difference—and that confidence grows with every project. Way to go, Catherine! 🎉If you need a little help with presser control on your serger, check this video out here https://youtu.be/-ttqIg0FDws?si=NUKMt...
👀 Can’t see the eye of your needle anymore? You’re so not alone! I’m showing you a simple little tool that makes threading your serger or sewing machine so easy — no squinting required. 🎥 Watch here: https://youtu.be/XpTs-sGjWhM
Ever buy a presser foot and think, “Now what do I do with this?” 🙋♀️ You’re not alone! In this video, I’m sharing the three feet I reach for constantly—and all the fun ways I actually use them (not just what the manual says).
Rolled hems can feel intimidating—until you know the secret. 🧵 Once you set up your serger the right way, you’ll be amazed at how quickly you can whip up professional napkins, scarves, and more.

These 3 serger feet do so much more than you’d expect…
I’m always getting asked which feet I actually use—and honestly, these are the ones I grab over and over again. Whether you’re staring at a mystery foot from your accessory box or just wondering what’s really worth using, this video will help. 💛
🎥 Come stitch with me + see how I use them in real projects:
https://youtu.be/SLWpb6QCQ2k 🐝 Tell me in the comments—what’s your most-used presser foot?
Joy from Joy's Life has been such an inspiration to the Beehive with her finished Sookie Sews serger projects!
This week Joy made the Cookin’ in Color Serger Apron—my #1 best-selling serger pattern. This one is extra special to me—it’s an oldie but goodie I first designed in 2010 when my daughter was just six months old (she’s 16 now!). I gave it a reboot a couple of years ago, and it’s been a fan favorite ever since.
Jump in and make your own, as long as you have a 3mm-5mm piping foot you are good to go!
✨ Want a stitch that looks fancy but is easy once you know the secret? ✨ Meet the flatlock stitch—part ladder, part squiggle, and 100% beginner-friendly! 🐝
In this step-by-step video, I’ll walk you through: ✔️ Setting up the 2-thread flatlock ✔️ Understanding both sides of the stitch ✔️ My best pro tips to avoid frustration 💛
✨ New to serging and not sure which stitch to use? You’re in the right place! As a Serger Coach, I hear this ALL the time: 👉 Do I use 3-thread or 4-thread overlock?
That “one extra thread” changes everything—strength, stretch, and finish. In my new video, I’ll show you: ✅ Exactly when to use 3-thread vs 4-thread 🧵 ✅ How each stitch looks and feels (on real fabric!) ✨ ✅ Tips to choose confidently for any project 🎀
Think a flawless rolled hem is only for expensive machines? Nope! 💡 With just a few settings and the right thread, you can create napkins that look boutique-perfect on any serger.
