I can't seem to thread it right. The upper an lower looper threads dont loop I guess you could say. It will work for a couple of stiches and then the upper looper comes undone. Also when my machine was working, the front side of the fabric looked good when it was serger but the back side was really loopy looking. Can anyone help with this??? |

I have the same machine, and the same difficulty. The hard part for me is that little notch the lower thread has to seat in, (back behind the body of the machine) Being left handed doesn't help either. Ever notice how just about everything is designed strictly for right-handers? Just keep practicing, use your tweezers, I found a flashlight helpful back in that dark corner, and play with your tension settings. How long have you had the machine?

Hey Kris-tal, congrats on the early Mother's Day present. I had the very same problem with the same machine, and only through practice, and more practice, did I FINALLY get the darn thing threaded correctly. I HATE the instruction manual that came with it, but pay particular attention to page 33. Especially the part where it tells you to turn the hand wheel toward you until the lower looper is at the far right. This helps keep the lower thread from conflicting with the upper, causing the machine to "unthread". At least I THINK that's what it was. Hope this helps. . .

| When you thread ..are you putting the lower looper thread over the upper looper arm? Do remember to thread the needles last and to clear the needle threads from the feed first if you have to rethread the loopers. |
