How to Thread an Imagine Serger for an Overlock Stitch

[@stitchann]

Just got a beautiful used Imagine and you helped me learn how to thread and sew on it. Thank you so much.

[@babylocksewing]

we're SEW glad it helped!

[@mamakathy5]

Oh Stephanie you have made threading this Baby Lock Serger so easy.. Thank You so much

[@barbarameehan113]

Great demo. I have had this serger fir years. I love it. I had another serger as an extra machine but could not thread it so am giving it away. Thank you.

[@mkmartin559]

Hallelujah for a clear tutorial at the right pace, with closeup views. Thank you!

[@jennienguyen1877]

I just bought an Imagine second hand from a lady and had a go at threading it last night. I keep getting threads breaking from my left needle (and got a broken left needle too) despite changing the thread and the needles out so I came looking for a video like this to see whether I was doing something wrong when I was threading it but from your tutorial it seems not. Might have to take it in for a service. Thank you for such a clear tutorial with appropriate commentary, pace, close ups and lighting, very informative. Will be look for more of your videos.

[@babylocksewing]

so glad this could help! If you have machine issues in the future, feel free to reach out to our consumer support hotline: [phone] or email at [e-mail].

[@lindadavis3728]

A wonderful tutorial. Love her style. She did not talk to fast, provided good lighting and very respectful to her audience.

[@winner1122ful]

Thank you for your thorough and guided instructions! I use my serger infrequently and you are my go-to You-Tube individual that I use each time I thread my machine! You make it look so easy and I am able to avoid frustration! Thanks a million!

[@babylocksewing]

so glad we could help!

[@jennynicholas2908]

Thank u for sharing how to thread this overlocker. Much appreciated

[@claregodleski1728]

Thank you so much for such excellent instructions. You really helped me today!

[@loridouglas5576]

Thank you… after months of not using my machine it’s wonderful to know I’ve got your help ❤

[@winner1122ful]

Thank you so much for your excellent visuals and explanations for threading the serger! I appreciate all of your support.

[@omniviolet78]

this is my favorite threading video! thank you!!

[@jannarobbins8698]

I just had my serger maintenanced after not using for a few years; your video was a godsend to get me going again! Thank you

[@janesmit2226]

Very good demonstration. Clear instructions and good camera work. Thank you!

[@barbarapottlitzer8832]

Great explanation❤

[@AnneWickman]

Thank you for this clear demonstration of threading the Imagine. What was critical in this video, was that the camera was providing good , well lit views of exactly what Stephanie was doing while she explained each step. I watched another video (by someone else) that was not helpful due to the fact that the demonstrator's hands often got in the way and the camera was not getting close enough to actually see. Thank you for this good video!!

[@maureengiannotti2371]

FINALLY!!! A clear and precise explanation of how to thread this machine. There is plenty of light to see what Stephanie is doing, and it's incredibly close up. Thank you so much! I can finally use my machine.

[@babylocksewing]

+Maureen Burkhart Yay! We're so very glad this was helpful for you; thanks for letting us know! You probably already noticed, but, this KZbin video was clipped from a longer video that goes more in depth on 3-thread serging, roll hemming, and such! This is a free class offered over at Sew at Home (online) Classes! sewathomeclasses.com/getting-to-know-baby-lock-imagine Happy serging!

[@gill8779]

Stephanie, thanks you so much for this very easy to follow demonstration. I have recently bought a second hand imagine & was struggling with the threading. I followed your instructions & I am so pleased with my purchase, it works perfectly!

[@gailannie8262]

Please elaborate on how/where you pull the very first thread, "to the back".. This is immediately after the thread shoots out to the left. I could not see it on camera.

[@Giuditta627]

Stephanie, I watched your complete video at the Sew at Home site and used it to thread my new Imagine. I was very intimidated, but you gave me the confidence, and I did it! Thanks for your excellent demonstration.

[@babylocksewing]

Hello! Yay, we're so glad this was helpful for you! And way to go! Thank you for letting us know!

[@Giuditta627]

Maureen said it all; that's exactly how I feel about this excellent demonstration, so I'll just add my sincere thanks! Brava!

My Attention Deficit Disorder was showing, big time! I was looking at open tubes and not realiing it! Thank you for your kind response. It makes one feel sheepish to reveal such a dum Bass lack of observation!

[@donitawright1894]

So easy to follow the steps. Clear and perfect! Thank you so much!

[@judyl3490]

All instructional videos should use this one as a example of how to produce their videos

[@imorozoffable]

Kudos for a well done vid with clear instructions. I can now use this machine that I inherited.

[@jimbogolden]

Thank you so much for this video! It was very helpful!

[@CatzTurn]

This was a great video on threading the Baby Lock Imagine Serger...thank you so much. I just bought mine on Craigslist, new but the instructions and CD were missing. I was going to take a class at a local Sewing Store, for $45 but decided to read the manual first and then I found these videos...they are so clear (much clearer than the store clerk). I feel this is such a great support for my new serger. I have never used one, but need it now.

[@severinatejada1165]

Where to buy this

[@franciscacorporan919]

Donde puedo comprar la placa de aguja si me puede ayudar no la encuentro

[@NarnyGiggles]

I cannot get my threads to stay in the very top thread guide no matter how I floss it through. Am I missing something? I"m about to go crazy over here ):

[@yoohanhnie]

I can't push the button in order to align it when I need to pump the thread through. How do I fix this?

[@babylocksewing]

Have you tried turning the handwheel several times towards you while holding the button down? Make sure to turn slowly, because it will push in only when they are aligned. It can be missed, so, turn it pretty slowly. If you are still having trouble, please take it to your local Baby Lock retailer to have them assist you with it. Thank you!
