what kind what model
my general version on how to thread a serger; remeber those things have minds of their own and first step of theirs is how do i spite you this time?
- turn it off and put it aside; let it est
- read the book; look at the video; maybe the cd that came with it
- rest a while; do something else
- repeat step 2
- come back to the overlocker (serger) in a humble manner
- with humility, pull all the threads out
- with all tensions released, levels set to 0 and foot up, start from right to left and thread according to the book. pay attention muchly to the last couple steps on each because that is where the problems happen now reset the tensions for the stitch you are using, probably 3 or 4 thread overlock.
- after doing one or both needles, turn the knob by hand several times to make sure all is threaded and see the chain starting to form and come out.
- then apply power gently and pull the chain.
- put in scrap fabric and with the chain ahead, then start and sew a length and then continue sewing while the fabric is pulled away with the chain dangling.
oh yes, if the machine came with 4 colors of thread, continue to use those for a bit. that way if something is going wrong, you can tell exactly which thread is causing the problem
