I'm having a problem with my husqvarna serger~I can't get it to feed and the thread keeps getting bound up~I changed the blades about a month ago~I have had the machine about a year~I took the machine apart and looked at it~I can't figure out what could be wrong though~any ideas? Thankyou~ Angel P. |

Angel, From your description, the most likely cause is a burr somewhere, likely caused by a needle getting broken. Possible places are on the tips of the loopers or the tongues on the presser foot and needle plate. Bill Holman |

My advise is chnge your needles, unthread the machine and re thread it,along with a little oil, so it will run smoother.I had a smiliar problem with my serger a while ago,it seems my threads were crossed!plus check your tension guides too.loosen off the needle threads a little bit.
If at first you don't suceed, try-try again!

Thankyou~ Angel P. hi--hang on to the chain thread behind the pressure foot & pull gently when starting to serge hope this will help |
