Hi abi, I’ve tried following your tutorial from starting fresh. But every time I start it, the thread comes out on the bottom two or it gets tangled. Can you help me or someone else?

[@janebuckle976]

You're an absolute star for making this video! I can't thank you enough. I was totally flummoxed when I unboxed my machine, but found your video, followed step by step, and I'm up and running. Thank you!!

[@LM-io1fv]

I am in the process of threading my machine after my first attempt over a year ago, and I will use you comment as motivation because my hands and neck are cramping because of that yellow thread. update: I used two tweezers and bargained with the spirit of my locker machine to cooperate and now I got it

[@angelanicolinas665]

I can't thank you enough for this video! I unboxed mine last night after sitting on it for over a year, and the photos in the manual were horrific! Will definitely be following you!

[@sallyheath-stubbs9933]

I bought my overlocker and it too sat in its box for about two years before I was settled and wanted to use it. I agree that the instructions and photos in the instruction manual are horrific! Thank goodness for people like Abi.

[@ramakay1329]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I had my Singer overlocker for nearly 2 years and following your instructions I am now back to using my overlocker and making my garments more presentable. Thank you.

[@AbisDen]

Wonderful!

[@Se1inascloset]

Thank you for posting , I've watched this so many times how you thread them needles, so quick is amazing. I've given up 😂😂

[@AbisDen]

You can do it! Snip the end of the thread and use a size 80 needle, it has a large eye x

[@MarcelleGrieveson]

After 4 hours of trying alone... Thank you so much. I could kiss you! 🎉

[@AbisDen]

Amazing! Glad I could help

[@sallyheath-stubbs9933]

Thank you SO MUCH for this video 😁😁😁. You saved my brand new overlocker's life - I was just about to throw it off the balcony from my 4th floor flat out of sheer frustration! I had overlooked to catch the little hook by the lower looper with the yellow thread and without knowing about that little hook, the instruction manual was unclear and confusing. I've only done one small test strip, but so far, so good, and it appears to be working fine. Thank you again for such a detailed and informative video, without your help, I would have definitely gone crazy!

[@AbisDen]

Yay! 🙌🏽 just image the mess you would have made. 😩xx haha. Glad you’re sorted now

[@BigManko]

Thank you so much Abi. This video was a great help. I got my new S010L serging in no time.

[@Bibi-hs3fd]

Thank you so so much, I just bought this machine and the pictures in the manual are so unclear, I followed the instructions in two different languages already and I still had problems, but this helped so much!

[@tinksdarkerside3048]

This is so very helpful! I'd been falling out with my Singer 14SH754 overlocker for months and just couldn't figure out what I had done wrong, but your video shows me that I hadn't managed to get my green needle thread through the tension disk at the top. I feel so stupid (I was literally checking everything except that), but very relieved! Your videos are a lifesaver. Thank you, Abi.

[@AbisDen]

Excellent 💪🏽well done. Keep at it - every day is a good day to learn something. 🌷

[@oskarmolly]

Thank you for this video. I just got a new Singer Overlocker and have been trying to thread it. I've worked hours doing it, because just as I think it was threaded correct it wasn't looping at all, all I would get is just a long string of threads or it would work for a minute and then go back to the long string of threads again. So now I'm going to keep this video on and watch and do this step by step.

[@AbisDen]

Brilliant news Annie. I’m glad you’ve got there in the end ☺️

[@oskarmolly]

@@AbisDen I think my problem has been was that I didn't have the thread in good enough in the little places and it would slip out. I have your video for reference if I have any more issues. Thank you so much. You make the yellow places look so easy, getting into that little notch in the looper took me a long time but I think it is finally in correct.

[@AbisDen]

Brilliant! Happy sewing!

[@oskarmolly]

Thank you, I finally got it and it works perfect. What a job for someone new to doing this but thanks to your video it was much easier and faster.

[@AbisDen]

🥳brilliant!

[@lunasmum6869]

I have a Singer overlocker from Lidl (14sh 754 I think) which I had sat in the cupboard for a long time before I plucked up the courage to use it!! When I did pluck up courage, because I had heard awful tales of doom regarding the threading, I was pleased with the instructions but the photos on mine told me nothing! However, once I had worked out how to thread the lower looper I wasn't worried any more and threading became easy. It stitches a dream.

[@tamaralowe405]

Thanks so much for posting this. I’ve just bought this machine and this video will be so helpful and is much clearer than the instruction manual.

Gets new machine out. Cuts thread off the machine.Gleefully bins. Starts video. Take the threads on your machine to guide where you place these spools...cries. Has cup of tea and decides to leave setting up the overlocker till this afternoon....or tomorrow...Thank you for doing the video. If only Id have watched it first.

Thank you Abi. This tutorial has really helped me to thread my 1st overlocker, same as this one from Lidl. It only took about 45mins, would have been quicker but my guide threads snapped so I had to thread manually.

[@adelinemarechal5539]

thank you so very much for this video. I hope that you will make a lot more on this machine. I don't know what I did wrong, turned some of the wheels not properly , it no longer stitches correctly. I must say that your video is so much better than the one on the singer website.

[@zuzanadubravcova1307]

Hello! Thank you for this video, it saves me nerves 😂 I am going to check some other videos of yours, since I have some issues with my Singer overlock 🙈 probably my fault, not his 🤷🏻‍♀️

@@AbisDen thank you, I figured it out. Forgot to check tension on one thread 🙈 I knew it was something stupid, but got sick and moved it to do it later. Now I can do trousers to school for my daughter. Just on time 😂 thank you for such a detailed video 😊

[@robertanderson-ve1uv]

That was a great tip thank you, I had run out of thread on one of the thread reels that came with the machine it was taking me ages to check the book and to make sense of where the hooks were even though it is coloured coded I was getting it twisted on one looper, eventually I did get it correct after many hours yes hours, anyhow will certainly being it the way you have described in your video for next time as certainly is a much quicker way. I expect threading is everyone's pet hate for the overlocker/serger,

[@AbisDen]

I don't normally mind threading an overlocker. I always advise my students to thread again and again, just for practice. I'm sorry it's taken hours Robert, that's frustrating for you, but we all start somewhere, I hope I have helped.

[@otilia6468]

Super useful. Thank you!

[@veragiles981]

Thanks, Abi. This was really helpful to get my new Lidl Singer overlooked threaded. I've rethreaded it several times now so feel much happier about it. I made your Japanese Knot bag this evening to try it out and it worked well. Just need to work out how to get a neater, firmer seam so the stitches don't show when the bag is turned right side out! X

[@yarnmugspodcast9123]

Thank you so much for this. I’ve been trying to follow the paper guide with no success. The yellow thread was the most tricky 👍

[@crissy5375]

This was great, Abi. I’ve just been helping my friend to thread her new Lidl overlocker. The bit at the end about checking the thread through the tension dials was extremely useful. I don’t think we’d have got there without your instruction.

Hi Abi. Can you share a cover pattern for this machine. Thanks

[@smould1]

Having just purchased this Overlocker I realise that, whilst it is very similar to the other Lidl machines such as the 14SH754, there do not appear to be any additional items specifically dedicated to this model. For example, I can’t find overlocker feet dedicated to the S010L. In your opinion am I safe in thinking that anything on the Singer site which is dedicated to the 14SH754 will also be compatible with the S010L? Why do they do this?

[@gaillaven9177]

My overlocker is gathering while I sew pls help thanks

[@whatsupwithpchannel7329]

Still debating if it's worth the hassle of having to put up with changing the needle on this model to save a bit of money as it's so tricky?

[@AbisDen]

The Necchi and Singer S14-78 are my preferred budget overlockers at the moment - The Singer came in at the same price as this and its much smoother.

[@whatsupwithpchannel7329]

@@AbisDen yes I did look in Lidl for that singer model but by pay day they only had the s10 model (the one your demoing on)

It would be fantastic to have a cover tutorial for this machine as well. (just saw the video for the first Lidl overlocker cover you made). thank you :)

[@dganet]

Hi Abi, thanks so much for making this video. I did manage to thread mine eventually at the weekend but I don't like the machine.....wish I'd got the Jaguar or Janome I originally looked at. That knife placement is horrible (it's really hard to move and its bracket is in the way), has no scrap bucket, there's not much lift in the presser foot and I found it so hard to serge in a straight line (that I'd marked on fabric). Seriously thinking about returning it & just waiting to get the one want, when I've mastered my sewing machine 😬

[@AbisDen]

[@flyffybunny5503]

Thank you for this video! I was losing hope after so many tries with the manual alone

[@suzidavies3536]

I got that wrong I meant it’s number 2 I can’t get right it’s after 4th yellow dot I get confused, wen I try to serge the thread from number 2 doesn’t sew it’s all loose then breaks,

[@bluezbiker1]

Hello, I have this machine, Question tho, do you know what knife it uses? have been in contact with SINGER and they have no idea, believe it or not. Many thanks.

[@AbisDen]

You know. I don’t. I’ve never had to buy one but you’ve got me thinking. It’s a bit cheeky that they didn’t know. If you’re in the U.K. try the ironing press company. They’re usually good

[@koraconneely4809]

thank you. i was wondering if you can use this machine for any other stitches or only use one of the threads instead of all four?

[@AbisDen]

You can’t just use one thread. See my two thread video to see how to sew that way

[@heidioeggerli2175]

thank you so much, it was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo helpful.

[@suzidavies3536]

Thanks again, the instructions say to use 2022 but also can use 2020 do you know what the difference is please? Sorry to be a pest but have never used an overlocker before and am a bit nervous, I am just sat here looking at it! I will bite the bullet and attempt to thread in a min, lol.

[@AbisDen]

Do it!!! No I’m not sure about the differences x

[@suzidavies3536]

Well I’ve tried and tried for hours to thread this overlocker and can’t get it right, just wen I think I’ve nailed it the thread breaks, I got a feeling I’m not threading the red one (number 1) correctly it’s the bit after the fourth yellow dot I can’t get right!

[@suzidavies3536]

Thank you for that advice abi, I have just bought the singer overlocker now and am looking on eBay to buy extra needles, am a little confused as to are overlock needles the same as the sewing machine needles?

[@AbisDen]

No, overlock needles are longer, both will work, overlocker are better

[@dopesheepify]

What's the difference between S010L and 14SH754? All I can really find is that Lidl sold this for crazy cheap, and only Lidl sold it for some reason. I know the 14HD854 has a more powerful motor than the 14SH754, maybe this one just has a weaker/cheaper motor?

[@AbisDen]

Nothing that I can see. I think that Lidl get the hundreds of machines at a very low price because they sell them in a matter of days.

[@anacifuart]

Hello, Abi thank you so much for your video! I wanted to ask which thread is recommended, cotton or polyester?

[@AbisDen]

Neither is better, they both have their advantages. If you’re seeing all sorts of fabrics though, stick with polyester. If you’re sewing cotton quilts for example or know you’ll dye the project, then use cotton. ☺️

Hi abi I’m contemplating buying the overlocker but not sure if il use it that often, do u have to use 4 threads or can u just use 1 thread and use it like a sewing machine,?

[@AbisDen]

You could use two threads, like a sewing machine but the adapter pings out of this machine easily, and you cannot get a replacement if it breaks or you lose it. I’d recommend the singer s14-78 or the necchi over this model

And finally, Does Lidl only stock singer models that have been specifically manufactured for them or do they stock other normal models of singer overlockers too (ones that other shops stock too)???
