    Thanks so much for your video! I’ve literally re-threaded my bottom looper 10 times. The definition of insanity!!! Of course it didn’t work. Then when I heard you say there’s a specific order it all came back to me. I did it in the order of your suggestion and I’m back up and running. Thank you. The machine almost went out the window 😂

    As a serger user for the last 20+ years (a White Speedylock 1500 that's still going strong), I can't thank you enough for this video. I had my serger up and running again in no time, all by myself!! A++

    I am so in love with you two. I re-needled and re-threaded, replaced two spools of thread, threaded my machine in order.... works like a top. My loops were sticking under my pressure foot and I could not sew a thing. I am again in business!!! Thank you!

    Thanks for all the information on serger troubleshooting. I saved hundreds of dollars purchasing a Juki serger(Japanese version of a Bernina serger); and it's been working like a dream until I broke and had to replace the lower looper needle. I hope your advice will help my skipped stitching issue.

    Great information and easy to understand. I recently bought a USED White 734D Superlock and the door beneath and forward of the needle plate is stuck closed. The release lever will not move enough to allow the door to open. I've removed the side plate and don't see anything obvious to my "untrained" eye. Does anyone have a suggestion before I take it to a repair service?

    @candacefowers7348 2 года назад

    My white 534 is making me crazy! It looks like its stitching correctly, but the cut edge is wildly more narrow than the MESS of loops forming a looped fringe past the cut edge! I keep trying to follow instructions about adjusting tensions but it is STILL making that HUGE overlong mass of loops extending far past the cut edge! Could it be something to do with the cutter? But then those messy lops would just be even with the cut-edge, if so..

    My serger was given to me.
    I had to change the blades, since then the top blade ( bottom edge) hits the top of the door, I've tried adjusting the blades to stop this problem. it looks like the top blade needs to be a little further back but I don't know how to do that.

    How do you fix the thread not feeding through the feed dogs to make the chain and the fabric consequently won/t feed through either. I did all the checkpoints, change needles, rethread, etc. and still will not feed a chain nor feed the fabric. STUMPED please help! it is a BabyLock 5260 model

    Hello,
    I have a vintage Babylock serger 5260. My needle clamp (that holds the 2 needles) is loose & is moving up & down the needle bar. I do not have a tool that fits. If I may ask, what tool can I use to tighten it? What position, on the bar, should I set it?
    Thank you for your time.

  • @LindaIBrown
    @LindaIBrown 6 лет назад

    How do you adjust the differential feed? I do help the chain. When i place the fabric underneath it goes forward and not backwards. The machine has been barely used but mostly for narrow rolled hem. Plus i can’t adjust the nob for the pressure foot.

    my serger profinish is tangling the chain in the loopers on startup. it started happening when I lifted the machine to clean under it. before I could have the chain hanging off the back and start some fabric and it would go thuogh without a problem. now if I don't pull the chain on start up it tangles up in the loopers and I have to re thread everything.

Glad for any tips! Thank you!

  • @barbaragnaedig518
    @barbaragnaedig518 7 лет назад

    My 4-thread serger (Singer Ultralock 14U64A) sews fine with three threads. When I try to use left needle for the straight stitch, the threads immediately start to wrap around what I think is the finger of the throat plate. (It's that needle that has its point just under the pressure foot.) I've rethreaded at least 5 times (following the manual and with a witness!), changed to new needles (the correct ones), and made sure the needles are all the way up. Still nothing but a jam within the first stitches. What could it be?

    hi there i have a problem with my singer serger. my lower looper keeps touching my needles and breaking them. I took it to the shop and they didn't even touch it cause they couldn't get a new lower looper. so i came home went online and boom found a brand new lower looper and also bought a new upper looper and a new plate( it was somewhat bent) so now i replaced everything and nothing! it keeps touching the needles. i tried fixing the timing and still touches the needles no matter what!
    could you give me advice should i take it into a new shop? or can i still do it myself?

    • @arelnath4059

    I had my Brother 929d over lock for about 15 years, same stitch finger for most of that time. Then it broke, now it breaks pretty often. I have almost quit using it at all because it really gets expensive having to buy new stitch fingers. Any idea what is going on or is it cheap made part problem? Is there a video? Thanks for any advice.

    Good day! I have a singer merrittlock serger 14U354B model that my mom bought off a garage sale. I've followed the steps to thread it but everytime i try to make the chain, the stitch just stays bunched up at the bottom. I looked and saw that there's a needle inserted inbetween the grooves laying down. so i'm wondering if it's normal to have that needle?
