🪡 How To Thread- Brother M343D - Overlocker Serger Projects |

[@veronicaannedarby7788]

I’m confused about which brand and type of thread to use with this overlocker model and will take your very good advice and buy black and white cones. Please can you recommend what type and brand is best to buy please?

[@AbisDen]

I buy Coats moon threads more often. The small reels are plenty for a couple of garments and I can choose matching colours. The quality is excellent and good enough for tailors of Saville Row.

[@veronicaannedarby7788]

@@AbisDen thanks Abi I really appreciate your reply x

[@janeedwards1338]

Best demo I’ve seen for threading my overlocker. Thank you.

[@tabun6774]

Please don’t ever remove this video, it’s my go to point every time the thread comes out .. thank u

[@helentjackson]

I sat for over an hour last night trying to thread mine, watched this video and it worked straight away! Thank you, my problem was knowing where to lie the threads after threading. The best tip I picked up was to remove the knife for threading. Thank you so much!!!!

[@carlonsmommy5583]

I was so stress wondering how I'm gonna string it.. this video teach me to follow the steps...

[@louisejamesalbiejohnstone1482]

Thank you so much for sharing! I just threaded my overlocker for the first time super easy video to follow thank you for sharing x

[@AbisDen]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lindawalsh7133]

I've just got my Brother overlocker and followed your video to thread it. It was so easy to follow your instructions and your explanations were very clear. I managed to thread it successfully the first time. Thank you so much.

[@AbisDen]

Glad I could help! Happy sewing! 🌷

[@Callie342k]

My children bought me this machine last June for my birthday. Today I opened the box and followed your instructions and I managed it all except dropping the knife. I am now sewing up the holes on all their sweatshirts. Thank you.

[@plamipetrova3384]

I had the same issue but actually It is very easy. I followed the manual and I did it.

[@lyndatindall7396]

Thank you so much, best explanation ever, I always struggled with the last bit but now I know to move the knife it makes it so much easier x

[@donnabilling3061]

Thank you so much for taking my through threading my overlocker. Your instructions were really clear and easy to follow 👍🏻

[@AbisDen]

Thank you for your feedback

[@m53goldsmith]

I tried to remember how to do this after over a year of not using my machine. Of course, that didn't work. Then I consulted the manual but it leaves out the last crucial step on the upper thread. Then I came here and voila!! All the information I needed, including a couple of tips that I hadn't seen before. That one about getting the knife out of the way is magic! Thank you so much for getting back to suing my overlocker. You have a new subscriber!

[@loup7454]

I can’t recommend this video highly enough. You hear so much about how difficult and time consuming threading up an overlocker is, but I had no problem first time following this, and have just referred to it again for my first change of colour. Very clear, perfect pace (not too fast but not frustratingly slow so you want to skip then can’t find your place) and clearly voiced.

[@AbisDen]

😊

[@sandrabrown7466]

Hi Abbi. Only had my overlocker A couple of months. Have been swapping threads etc then the lower looper. Thread snapped. It was driving me mad and then I remembered your video. Thank you, you’ve saved my sanity! Xx

[@marlinethomas5400]

Thank you so much, it was much more easier watching your video. Than the instructions that came with it!!!

[@AbisDen]

Brilliant! I’m glad I could help x

[@freddy_johnstonburns]

thank you so much Abi :) I've misplaced my manual and you have rescued me. Such clear instruction, very helpful. Much appreciated!

[@AbisDen]

Amazing

[@lisamasters6539]

Brilliant! Thank you so much- managed to get my overlocker re-threaded with your help!

[@AbisDen]

You're welcome!

[@rickdunn4429]

Lower looper thread kept breaking until I watched Abi, your the best! Thanks Abi.

[@AbisDen]

Glad to have helped 💕

[@rachelfinsbury4443]

Thank you. I have threaded my overlocker now from following your clear instructions and video. 😊

[@shelleyouten5555]

Got this overlocker yesterday.......got the manual out and couldn't understand it so watched your video and BAM all done! Thank you

[@Fatima-vd1mo]

This video is so easy to understand and follow, thank you so much… by the way I loved that you used diffirent threads color it turned out so beautiful 😊💐

[@AbisDen]

You are so welcome!

[@janineobrien3069]

After almost 10mins of trying to thread the lower looper, I googled how to thread the machine and watched your video.... I was really struggling with no.9, I don’t think the instructions are necessarily clear about the lever clicking. I was so relieved when I saw you do it. Thread straightaway. I’ll be sure to pop back for more videos. Thanks

[@mummybugs13]

I have wanted an overlocker since lockdown started, and my hubby got me one yesterday. I was dreading threading it after seeing loads of comments on facebook sewing groups. But I watched your video and did it first time, Thank you soooo much xx

[@lesleyparker768]

Thank you so much i was dreading getting started but the video helped me and i managed to do it first time... Great teaching.

[@AbisDen]

Glad it helped!

[@gordonholms1918]

Thanks so much for all your very informative videos. I’ve learned so much over recent months. Great teaching skills. Look forward to more learning.

[@Lisa-no4jv]

I was struggling so much with threading my new overlock serger. I followed the instructions that came with the machine over and over again, but the stitches never turned out right. I was just about ready to give up when I tried your suggestion to move the knife out of the way before threading and it was the absolute key! I was so excited to finally be able to successfully thread my serger and produce perfect stitches!! Despite watching many, many videos and reading multiple tips from experts, I never saw that suggestion anywhere. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom!

[@judgejulie7869]

Oh my god! Thank you soooooooo much for making this easier than what I thought. Bit of an amateur sewist with this brand new machine just sitting in the box because I'm terrified and overwhelmed by it. Will follow these instructions as made perfect sense. Thanks again ❤❤❤❤

You are so welcome! 🌷✨🪡

[@emmabebbington7187]

OMG thanks so much for this video. Just got one of these today, I don’t have a DVD player so the DVD that came with it wasn’t much use, couldn’t really make much sense of the manual either. This video!! Amazing. So easy to follow, so easy to thread this machine because of it. You’re amazing!! Xx

Thank you for this I felt a little overwhelmed with the instruction book to my new over locker. followed this perfect thank you very much x

[@ynys_mon6928]

I can’t thank you enough. I was really struggling with my new Overlocker. I read and re-read the instruction booklet and watched the official instruction video several times. It still wasn’t working properly and I nearly gave up. Your vlog had a couple of tips, the one that I think made the most difference was to make sure your thread is properly embedded within the tension channel gubbins). I am now enjoying my overlocker and it’s all thanks to you!

[@dianadivadiamond]

Thanks so much for this tutorial and it was very helpful. Mine came already threaded so all I have to do was to attach my thread but obviously I threaded it wrong. Very helpful and concise. Will continue watching whatever else on the serger that you have to offer. Many blessings to you.

[@cornerhousewendy]

Thanks for this, bought this my first ever overlocker before Christmas but had time to get it out today, watched your video for how to thread as couldn’t figure out the last bit of the loopers, worked on my first try. I’ve been overlocking everything in site all afternoon 😂😂😂😂thanks so much

Thank you so much for the clear instructions. My husband bought this model overlocker for me for Christmas. I have been sewing quite a bit for the past few years. I really wanted an overlocker to finish the seams and make them look nicer. But.. having looked at your brilliant video all I am feeling at this moment is pure panic. Lol. What have I done.? Ekk. I'm scared now. I can't tell my husband that the only thing I have ever asked for in 40 years is terrifying me to use it I will definitely be studying any videos you have uploaded. Thank you again.

[@AbisDen]

Sandra! Pull yourself together woman! 💪🏾💫✨you can do this 🌷Just have lots of fun. Grab some scraps and old towels and sheets and sew. Practice threading it up until you’re able to do it eyes closed. You’ll be pro in no time

This is THE video on threading an overlocker! I just got the Brother 734ds and tried to thread it a few times. The loopers scared me as I couldn't even see where the heck to put the thread. The machine was so cute till I opened the door bit and then I literally got scared haha. Your instructions and your zooming in to show the parts very clearly have been a life saver. The only difference was that I used the sewing machine tweezer for all the needle threading steps. Thank you! Saving this video so that I can rewatch as needed.
