OMG, I got this serger from my Patient a long time ago and I couldn't tread it and use it, I’ve been looking at youtube videos on how to use it. finally, you are the one who makes it easy and simple I have no words... Thank you very much.

[@seasonallyproductive]

Thank you so much for watching and leaving your kind words. I'm glad I could help

[@Pixietail007]

I’ve had my machine for at least 15 years and couldn’t use it despite hours of watching videos. Thanks to your video and another I can now use it……so so happy! Thank you. I hadn’t been threading it properly for one and secondly, my thread kept breaking only to find out the thread was too old. As soon as I used new thread and threaded as you suggest…. I’m off and running!

[@seasonallyproductive]

Oh what a great achievement!! 15 years is a long time to wait!

[@sherrelogan6323]

Thank you for this video. It was short, sweet and to the point. I was using my serger within 25 minutes! Yay! I'm so excited now to start finishing my seams and many more projects.

[@lauriebartlett5668]

You’re positive attitude came through and I have gotten three spools threaded. The fourth spool is hiding in the spare room. I’ll get there I promise! Thank you for the encouragement. My machine was an unexpected free gift. “Hey Amanda do you know anyone who could use a serger machine?” Amanda looked at me and I said yes. Didn’t even seriously pray for one. More like a prayer wish list to God. Unbelievable.

[@aynwhytemare4888]

This is a lifesaver! Hope to see other videos about using this machine, I had given up hope on how to use this older machine.

[@seasonallyproductive]

Oh yay! Hope you can get yours going

[@allinherideas4776]

My god!! Thank you!!! I have a serger gifted to me and actually broke a looper needle trying to re-thread the yellow lower looper, time and MONEY I didnt intend on spending since I took the looper needle off! And needed the timing fixed after reinstalling it myself.... now rethreading the SAME needle I realized while watching your video that the arm cover comes off giving me access to the inner arm of the lower looper needle with its teeeeeeeenytiny hole on the side!!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽thank you!

[@seasonallyproductive]

Oh nooooooo. I also didn't know that cover could come off for the longest time! Have you found the manual online to download?

[@tabithamcadams2473]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I threaded for the first time in less than 30 minutes. You’re awesome!

[@seasonallyproductive]

You're welcome!

[@lauradominguez6663]

Thank you, this tutorial is the absolute best.

[@vuyiswamasombuka583]

Thank you very much for this tutorial. I had this serger for 6 years and couldn't tread it properly, ii packed it up to the box again. & I bought myself another serger that wasn't so difficult to thread. Thanks now I can use them both.

[@siobhanstollznow1148]

Followed the guide as best as I could. Got to the end where you gave your tip and realised mine was already threaded with a bit of thread when I got it. Grrrrr

[@maryrobinson3911]

Very helpful. The only video that taught me how to thread my serger. Thank you.

[@seasonallyproductive]

That's a powerful comment! Thank you for watching

[@ss11557]

Thanks for the great video! Mine is still in the box, just got it last week, but I feel more confident getting started!

[@seasonallyproductive]

Yay! Give it a go and you'll be glad you did

[@lauriebartlett5668]

I have a chain which means I threaded it correctly, I think. That’s it for the night. I celebrate small victories after tedious work of threading four threads. Tomorrow’s mission is getting the correct tension. I accept the challenge!!

[@kalangatherese1140]

Hi dear sister, thank you for your video. It is very helpful. I am able to thread my serger after watching your video. Keep doing the good work ❤❤❤

[@seasonallyproductive]

Yay! Happy serging 🥳

[@tomistafford9818]

Thank you! I bought this exact machine from goodwill, without the manual (I did download/print one) your video has been super helpful!

[@seasonallyproductive]

Great! It's an awesome machine. Mine was second hand too

[@stormyrayn2104]

Thank you so much for this instructional video. It is the best I’ve seen so far, and it was extremely helpful for me❤️

[@seasonallyproductive]

You are so welcome!

[@kalangatherese1140]

Thank you for your video, I am able to thread my machine now. I am so happy ❤❤❤❤

[@seasonallyproductive]

So glad to hear! Enjoy serging 🥳

[@hannahzambito]

Thank you for this! My machine got all bunched up last night and I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. This video helped me tremendously. I use it every time I have to rethread.

[@seasonallyproductive]

Oh, that makes my heart so happy! Glad I could help

[@billholder253]

Thanks a bunch for this helpful video. Been working on an older 14U44, which has knobs on the front panel not dials like yours. It’s been a trip and a half, oh what fun😢😅😂

[@seasonallyproductive]

Great! I love older machines

[@danceableprojects]

very helpful, especially changing threads , thanks

[@seasonallyproductive]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching

[@hamidaskeber3945]

Thanks you very much. Can you tell me what's size needs go this machine?

[@susanpaulo329]

Thank you for this very informative tutorial! I had rethreaded my server and couldn't get it to work correctly. After watching your video, I found out it wasn't threaded correctly and that's why it wasn't working. Great job explaining and showing how to maneuver the thread.

[@seasonallyproductive]

So glad to hear!

[@chrixmac9462]

Thank you so much do you have any tips on how to use it

[@seasonallyproductive]

Practice practice practice. Figure out which threads do what. Try to keep a straight line and try not to get frustrated easily. Have fun!

[@doyinremiafonja1253]

Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge

[@seasonallyproductive]

My pleasure

[@sherrieisenzopf9715]

I have this machine. I got it in the mid 90s.

[@billiewilner3454]

So helpful thank you! Was so intimidated until this video❤

[@seasonallyproductive]

Oh good! You're welcome. They can be super intimidating!

[@elainedixon5617]

I thank you. I like your video. You explain a lot. Can you tell how to use the other plate on your surgery and how to use the tree thread? Search when you're doing Naruto, search for napkins, thank you.

[@seasonallyproductive]

Thanks for watching 🙂 as far as I know it's only the one plate that can be used. I'm not familiar with the 3 thread stitch, but it should be quite simple. There is a free manual available on line that would explain it.

[@Mokeadunni]

Thank you. I had a moment now I'm good.

[@barbgardiner5719]

Thank You!!!🥳🎉🎉🎉this explains what I needed!

[@seasonallyproductive]

Glad I could help!

[@SweetyPrincessMarghe]

Hi! I want to purchase the same model second hand but I can't understand if you can youse standard sewing machine needles like most modern sergers... I can't find the original needles anywhere! In the manual they say you can in a pinch but you have to change the tension (?) but I don't understand if it actually works well for long time use. Thank you

[@seasonallyproductive]

No, with my machine it will only take its own needles. The shank is different

[@melissathomas1138]

Thanks. This was super helpful

[@ralphsgirl06]

Thank you for this😊

[@seasonallyproductive]

You're welcome!

[@anncoleman2577]

Yes so true

[@jocelynzahn1896]

Thank you!

[@robm6141]

Thank you.....

[@esthernitu]

Thanks sister good luck

[@1.4.3.seattle]

Can you thread a needle and use the needle as a guide through all the hooks?

[@seasonallyproductive]

Hmm, I've never thought of that! Some spots are very tight, but I may be inclined to try this. My only concern would be of the off chance of the needle breaking in the machine, especially since you'd need a very thin one

[@mochamochalatte]

thank you!!

[@seasonallyproductive]

You're welcome!

[@barbgardiner5719]

I need the instructions on how to go through the hole in that silver thing on the top back of the machine

[@aalycaat]

Hi where did u get your trim catcher??

[@seasonallyproductive]

This one came with another machine of mine. I think there's some patterns to make them online

[@aalycaat]

@@seasonallyproductive oh =] thank u!

[@Wooweemama]

Thank you so much!

[@onyinyeperpetual7015]

Pls how can u set the tension for a stretchy stitch

[@seasonallyproductive]

You will want to look at the differential. Consult your manual and play around on scraps until you get the desired outcome

[@dadaszeto833]

I love your way .you are so funny

[@pjm8602]

thank you

[@mmg8823]

Right when it gets to 9:50, the part that I need, the video goes dark and I can’t see what you are doing. 😢

[@seasonallyproductive]

Thanks for letting me know. I will look into this!

[@josephmukata845]

How many needles

[@seasonallyproductive]

This one has 2 needles

[@rockyk.x1476]

Great

[@seasonallyproductive]

Thank you

[@dadaszeto833]

Só nice share your video

[@MZDIVATV]

You didn't show us the numbers we should turn it to after threading. The video was really helpful

[@seasonallyproductive]

It will vary depending on machine, fabric, job, etc. I suggest practicing on scraps and adjusting one dial at a time until you get it set the way you want. Another great tip is to put a different colour thread in each spot so you can see what each one does
