How To Thread A Serger - Overlock Machine

[@gladtidings4all]

This is my favorite video tutorial ever. I have the same machine.

[@Giuditta627]

This is truly one of the best done sewing videos I've ever seen -- even better than many, many television shows. It was filmed beautifully, so it was easy to see the parts of the machine as it was threaded, and the instructions were clear and confident. At this very minute, my serger is laying dormant after I failed in threading the needless. I am taking my laptop to the sewing room and watching this again step by step. A heartfelt thankyou to Sewing Parts Online!

[@josiesmith9730]

As a person who watches as many of the KZbin sewing tutorials as possible, I can honestly say that this video is one of the best videos online. I'm finding the same with your other videos. Thanks.

[@gladtidings4all]

Please do more detail tutorial videos like this one on how to serge different stitches thanks.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Thank you for the suggestion! :)

[@MelissaFarmer1]

Thank you so much for making this video. I got my serger two weeks ago and it has been in time out ever since. I am no longer angry with it and have completed my first project since viewing this tutorial two hours ago. I can't thank you enough.

[@MarianaGazinhato]

I have a serger just like that for two years now and I could never thread t, but I think your video just helped figured out what I was doing wrong! Thank you very very much

[@LifeWithDevanteB]

Thanks! Had to refresh my memory because I kinda forgot the simple steps because I haven't used mine in a while.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Devante Bailey It's definitely a lot to remember!

[@nancysmith5630]

Thank you! Step one done!

[@Putrescent_Defense]

2023 and this video has helped so much. Brand new serger out of the box, first time threading, and it was up and running in 20 minutes. Eternally grateful for this video.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

We're so glad that it helped you! Have fun with your new serger!

[@ClaudiaDurandZwarg]

Singer's manual was making me cry, then I found this video. You're a life saver!!!

[@BarbieInYourBox]

Thank god that people like you exist. I just got my new machine, its the same as yours but from a diffrent company and the instrucions are so bad that I didn't understand anything... THANK YOU SO MUCH !

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Our store currently sells 20 different sewing machines, and we are constantly adding more to our inventory. I, personally, have 4 sewing machines. And I love them all!

[@melisavang4106]

I have a hobby lock 774 serger? How do I thread? What king of needles do I use?

[@christinegabriel7842]

Love you so much 💗,I have taken my overlock machines to 2 designers all couldn't thread it thanks to KZbin I found this video and I'm able to do the magic personally 🤩🥰

[@stevenclemons1]

Thank you so much! I just bought this same machine and have never used a serger before! I am so grateful for this video!!

[@SabrinaCoxAtTheWyrmberg]

Thank you a thousand times. Two hours trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Ten mins here and fingers crossed I've got it.

[@fafnyrslair]

Thank you! I got a free serger from a friend and could not figure it out. I followed this and its working!! Thanks!

[@debrazeerp4085]

Thank you so much for this fantastic and so thorough tutorial!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 My dear girl blessings to you forever!🤗 I bought this serger machine from a dear lady, that had too much trouble threading it. She told me that for the time she owned it, she only used it with just one "thread" as a regular sewing machine. I am new to this machine, and plan to learn to use and enjoy it. You have been so, so very helpful, with this step by step tutorial.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Hi! Thank you for your kind words! We're glad it has helped!

[@alanmackinder2754]

Janice So easy to follow your instructions. Bought my machine about 4 years ago. Managed to follow manual instructions but it took me so long I gave up and put the machine in a cupboard. Now we are threaded and ready to go. Thankyou for your easy to follow tutorial.

[@rebeccafrazer6738]

I'm officially obsessed with these videos. Thank you so much for creating these!

[@SewingPartsOnline]

rebecca frazer Thank you so much for watching!

[@mariannemccay8170]

Thanks for this video.. Very informative for someone that had a serger dropped in her lap and trying desperately to figure out how to use it.. Your video is very good... I am sure I will look for more videos from you.

[@Holli_Sassafras]

I just got a singer serger. The original owner never figured out how to thread it before she passed away suddenly. Everyone I’ve talked to has told me how hard it is to thread so your video has made it a lot less scary!!

[@helenmurphy2814]

Thank you so much you have saved my sanity! I tried to thread my machine for two hours before finding this and then did it straight away with your video

[@franceskelley4993]

I finally got a serger for Christmas this year and while I have the hand book; watching the tutorial helped solidify all information.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Congrats on your new serger! I'm so glad the videos help!

[@carols8090]

I have the same serger as you and it came threaded. I failed to put the presser foot down and the thread broke!!! Tried and tried and tried to rethread using the manual. Was ready to return the machine and give up. Then I found this video!!! It took me a few more tries, but I've got it now!!!! Successfully rethreading one time was all the confidence I needed. Thank you so much!!

[@helenknecht2407]

Best explanation and video of threading ever! Thank you!

[@sewandsew4399]

im new to sewing and starting with a serger, it came spooled and threaded but i went and threaded it today and made a few mistakes, some i corrected before i turned it on but i had some thread misplaced. the manual was confusing so i youtube searched and your video confirmed exactly what i thought i was supposed to be doing. i went back, did it again and now its working. thanks!

[@shinichan05]

i have a different machine and have been struggling for 4 days to get mine working and finally got it after this video!! thank you!

[@paulayoung6688]

I just wanted to tell you, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TEACHING ME HOW TO DO THIS! My husband bought this machine for me 2 years ago for my birthday and because I was so intimidated by it, I never used it. Now I am totally in love with it and keep a shortcut on my desktop to coach me everytime I use it. Thank you once again.

[@juliagregson4444]

Brilliant, just bought one of these and had no idea how to thread it even following the instruction book. I have now saved this to favourites as I'm sure I'll need a refresher.

[@djcalvert9739]

Wow Thank you!!!!! This tutorial is great! Felt a bit list with the owners manual and then found this vid. I followed you step by step, paused a couple time and .....waaalaaa it's threaded. Thank you again :)

[@SewingPartsOnline]

So glad we could help! Those sergers are tricky!

[@suzannedinter]

Thank you so much! This is the first time I'm using my overlock machine and the black and white instruction manual just didn't help at all. But you did, so thank you very much :-)

[@drewrobo]

Thanky you, Thank you, Thank you. I thought I was sooo dumb as I couldn't grasp the instuctions that came with my overlocker. You are an angel. Drew x

[@alisonmiller2841]

Thank you so much for this uber helpful tutorial. I was pulling my hair out, but you have explained, and filmed your explanation, so brilliantly!

[@SewingPartsOnline]

I'm so glad it was helpful for you! And thank you for watching!

[@SkrimpnSkrap]

Thank you so much for doing this. I bought a serger quite some time ago with both fond and trepidatious memories of high school sewing classes. I have avoided using it out of fear about threading the machine. This was sooooo helpful!

[@prettylittlewallflower4513]

awesome!!! I FINALLY was able to thread my server because of your awesome instructions....Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!😁🤗

[@SewingPartsOnline]

You are very welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@The_valerieforever]

[@lighthouse222222]

Thank you so much for giving a visual guide, I tried all day 2 years ago and I even carried it back to the store no one knew how to thread the lower looper. The machine didn't come with a book, don't know why I didn't think to look on the web, Thank Jesus I'm sewing again!

[@BRiGHT-CHilD]

Thank you so much for this! I was so lost on what to do & I couldn't find anything to help me but followed this step by step & my Serger is sorted! 🤗

[@Who.is.sarahmaloney]

Thank you so much for making this! I was struggling for hours and u helped me fix this in 5 minutes!!!

[@Sara-qz1mg]

thank you soooo much,you are angel sent from heaven!i was trying to do it by myself while reading the manual and i wanted to explode of anger. thank you for this tutorial!!!!!!

[@jennypooh2539]

Thank you for taking your time to explain it in such detail. I just watched a horrible Serger how to video and yours was way better.

[@janetbold9574]

Thank you! I spent 3 hours trying to thread my Alfa serger last night after changing the needle.I just watched your video once and have seen where I was going wrong.

[@marianovak9684]

Thank you so much, I couldn’t have done this without you!

[@renateohlrich6425]

Sara, you are a great demonstrator thanks.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

We are glad you enjoyed the video!

[@ozinoman]

Thank you, oh thank you. I have been battling with my machine for the past few days. I have rethreaded it over and over again but it hasn't come right. I figured I would invest 10 minutes and follow you and hey presto it worked. I have no idea what I did wrong but thanks!!!

[@lotlotdg4300]

Thank you i just got my new serger and this is helpful but i will keep watching it until I got the hang of it!

[@moveova2006]

This video is awesome! I'm pulling out my serger right now. Thank you for sharing!

[@croixmom]

Thank you so much for this concise tutorial!!! I do not use my serger very often and it seems to always be a battle of wills, to get it to cooperate. Thank you for pointing out the different levels of the needles and for showing the threading. I had been trying to thread my lower looper first. Threading the upper looper first, and pulling each thread under the foot was the key. I cannot thank you enough!

[@SewingPartsOnline]

+croixmom I'm so glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!

[@chocolates4breakfastterri384]

Excellent video! So much easier to follow than the instruction manual. Thanks!!!!

[@drzigzag8985]

So easy to follow, I was able to understand the parts as well as learn to thread the machine. Thanks!

[@michellegreer8032]

I have had my serger for 15 or more years I think it has been used 2 times because I could never thread it. I found this video and was able to thread and use it for the first time. Thank you

[@SewingPartsOnline]

So glad to hear!

[@ruththornton105]

Really clear instructions! Thank you VERY much!

[@kimwise1724]

Thanks Sara/Sarah for the great video I couldn't figure out how to thread that second lower loop. Great job. We call it an overlocker in Australia.

[@sherde10]

Thanks so much!! You are sooo much easier to follow than the manual xxxx

[@stephenbell4437]

Thank you so much! This has helped me enormously. I have sewn for years but this is my first serger....I was ready to give up with the threading. :-)

[@ncboot5014]

AWESOME instructional video, I certainly appreciated the way you edited the video so there was minimal camera movement... that makes me so dizzy :/ Your descriptions and guidance were very informative and helpful, THANKSl! :)

[@nuvoclassic]

excellent tutorial and video production - I was struggling with the 'easy' part of threading my NEW Singer serger. I threaded and used my first, ancient Singer serger, no problem. Then learned to sew 20 minutes later on my new Brother sewing machine. But for some reason, threading through the back hooks below the cones of this new Singer serger was giving me a tad bit o' trouble. Thank you for this!

[@VanillaSlash]

Thank god! I was going crazy trying to thread this thing. Thank you!

[@nancyfinnegan8732]

Thank you so much, I bought this Serger and, with your help, was able to easily thread what I thought would be a nightmare. It turned into an easy task. The manual pictures were very hard to understand.

[@mamabear3345]

Thank you! 1st time user on my serger and I did it, thanks for your help :)

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Great job!! :)

[@mitsukomucitecic6098]

Thank you for such a great explanatory tutorial! I finally did the proper threading with my overlocker Pfaff 1230 ol.

[@terrijohnson1594]

OMG! Thanks for this video. I spent over an hour trying to thread my machine. The instruction manual didn't help much, especially threading the lower looper.

[@lindataylor4397]

I love your patience and teaching methods. Would you PLEASE make a video on how to thread the 5 thread singer professional 5? It is a nightmare to thread.

[@julietteseymour1585]

Thank you. The tutorial was great I even managed to show my friend how to thread her machine

[@breefeehan2343]

Thank you. Your video helped a lot! I bought my daughter a serger but every time that the serger looses its threading she brings it back to me to thread. I like your idea about labeling the components of the machine.
