How to change thread on a Serger/Interlock

People are very intimidated by sergers because they look (and actually are) very hard to thread. This video will show you how to avoid ever threading your serger again.
It covers the MOST IMPORTANT thing anyone using a serger (sometimes called an Interlock) should know. How to change your thread WITHOUT UNTHREADING your serger.
NEVER UNTHREAD A SERGER.
I've had mine for probably 20 years and I think I've only threaded it twice. Once when I brought it home from the store and once when a thread broke.
NEVER UNTHREAD A SERGER.
Watch the video and I'll show you how to change the thread without unthreading.
NEVER UNTHREAD A SERGER.
Hope you like it.

I just got my very first serger a couple days ago and was seriously intimidated by the inner workings. I'm thankful that it came pre-threaded and even MORE thankful that I found your video.

THANK YOU for saving me a serious headache. I'm attaching your warning to the machine as a constant reminder. :)

I spent several hours last night trying to thread my serger.  Today I've got a headache. There's got to be an easier way to thread a serger when the thread breaks or hangs up in the machine. Ughhh!

That is what I'm trying to avoid with this. They do break occasionally. I've only broken one or two and they broke towards the end so I only had to rethread the looper. I try to buy good quality thread and if I ever use a small spool I'm sure to put on the plastic guard to keep it from catching on the spool notch.

THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!

I don't know of one. It's tweezers and reading glasses time when that happens for me.

i do this too, but when the lower looper breaks is there an easy fix?

Hahaha, Thanks.
