@audreylittlewood1313 Sometimes, it is just a little thing that does the trick.

That was a great tip. I have had these problems and now I can fix it. Very good to know about the importance of thread quality on the lower looper. Thank you 🎉😊

Sharon thank you thank you thank you. I was struggling with the threads not making loops on my overlocker for hours yesterday and I watched your very very helpful video and voila this morning I did what you suggested with winding the wheel back a couple of stitches and oh my god it worked. I can't thank you enough. Have a wonderful day x

Hi Sharyn, I tried your suggestion and it worked for long enough to do my mending job but it keeps breaking. I'm using white but I swapped the spool in case and it's still happening. Any thoughts, please?

[@SharynsSewingSchool]

If it consistently breaking the lower looper thread at around the same distance, it is generally a threading issue. Unthread the machine completely and rethread from scratch, working from right to left. If it is breaking at random distances, you are looking at: 1. Lower looper tension being too tight for the thread, in which case changing the thread cones may sort it out. 2. Damage to the needles. If the left needle has damage it may cause a problem for the lower looper thread, if the right needle has damage it may cause a problem with the upper looper thread. 3. Damage to loopers. If the loopers get scratched the thread will catch on them. Sometimes you can feel the scratch with your fingernail. This will need a technician to sort out. They can sometimes brush out this sort of damage and sometimes the looper needs to be replaced. Hope this helps! 😃
