| I love to sew. I know I needed a serger to do some of my clothes. I have three kids so I have no money. I found a serger at a yard sale. It appears to work, but I have not a clue how to thread it. it is a huskylock 560 ed t. If anyone has one of these, or if you know where I could find a manuel, I would really appreciate it. I have searched the entire web - nothing. I have spent hours trial and error- nothing. I hope someone out there knows. thanks in advance! |

Do you have a Viking dealer close by? They are sometimes very resourceful in getting things for you. My two cents! |

You might also try this place. They say they have a service and repair manual for that model. Maybe they also have the threading guide in it. http://www.davettelynnehrabak.com/statewide.htm#Manuals |

The 560ED was made for Viking by Brother, but was the first one that used standard 15X1 needles instead of the round shank 16X231 that their previous models had required. It was a new streamlined version for it's day, (about 1989) but unfortunately, was very touchy to keep in adjustment. The liklihood that it will operate properly without some skillful attention, unfortunately, is quite small. Bill Holman |

Wow Bill, you are awsome! You just gave me more information than I have found searching countless hours on the web. I guess if you google it once and it doesn't come up it's not gonna. So I guess I just need to save my pennies and invest in a new one?

There are some good "experienced" models out there, but find one that has been rebuilt by a shop that specializes in doing it. Some folks trade in perfectly good machines like (most of the) Babylocks, just to get some new gadgets. Do be sure you get differential feed though. Bill Holman |

Hi, I have the manual for the Huskylock 560ED T. I don't have a scanner but, I could make some photo copies and then send them to you. Let me know. I would like to help in anyway I can. |

There you go PerryPatch. You may still be able to salvage and use your garage/yard sale find yet. My motto is "where there's a will there's a way."  Patsy Patsy
