PFAFF Hobbylock 4870 and 4860 (VHS, 1995)

As an owner of a Pfaff hobbylock 4870 or 4860, you have purchased the most technologically advanced serger on the market today — now it's time to learn how to use it to its fullest potential. In an easy-to-follow format, Philip and Eileen take you through all of the workings of your hobby-lock, including how to thread the thread guides, changing the needle, changing the upper knife, even how to change the light bulb. They'll also give you a complete comprehensive overview of the functions of all of the hobbylock's standard accessories, what all of the symbols mean, selection of built-in stitch patterns, the LED panel, variable speed settings and flat bed to free arm conversion. You'll learn some of the basic serging techniques: flatlocking, rolled hemming, turning corners (both outside and inside), piping, ruffling and more. Plus, there is a segment on serging with decorative threads and a brief introduction to using optional specialty sewing feet for a variety of interesting effects. Additionally, you'll find helpful tips to keep you serging along smoothly.
