My Serger came unthreaded

[cin]

And after 25 minutes, DH is now trying to get it re-threaded. So DH spends about 5 minutes working it and has it threaded. Something that costs so much should be a little easier to use, right?????:mad:

 

rant over.

But believe it or not, you will get the hang of it. Mine has the bottom thread (most difficult to do) often coming loose if I do something wrong or don't put it in just the right place. Just practice a few times.

 

It took me a few months to sit down and get the guts to work on threading one though so I hear your pain. It's not even mine. It belongs to my mother who has had it for maybe a couple years and has never used it. She watched the video and it overwhelmed her.

 

I think watching an overview on video is sometimes not a good thing. You look at the whole, big, complicated ordeal instead of just taking one little piece at a time out of the instructions.

 

Don't start using it with the blade on something you really like. I sliced a few things when the lower material pulled up. :( Thankfully, it was a little dress for my daughter that was already way too big for her and I just cut the damage off instead of hemming it up like I originally planned. It worked out.

I have a husqvarna, and I do love it! Janome is a good brand too, that is what my regular machine is. After dh got it threaded I whipped up skirts. I'm now onto pinning the waistband and hems. I sew everything with white thread, and just thread it when it is ABSOLUTELY necessary. I think my 3 yr old unthreaded it, my 6 yo knows to NOT touch mommy's machine.
