singer serger

I just got a hand-me-down singer serger from my mom. She hardly used it. I have threaded it using the 3 threads on the right needle. That thread through the needle keeps getting caught in the stitching. It doesn't cut it, it just keeps pulling it further and further as you serge, not disrupting the stitching otherwise. Any suggestions?

"... threaded it using the 3 threads on the right needle."??? That description does not correspond with the threading process for any of the three different sergers I own.

Do you have the manual? Sounds very much like a threading error. Re-thread from scratch, following the order for threading in the manual, using different colored threads for

*each* looper and *each* needle. Do a test. Compare the results to the illustrations in the manual. That's the best way I know to diagnose a serger problem. YMMV
