I have had a serger (a Brother 1034D) for almost three years now. And I haven't used it even once. You know why? It became un-threaded when I was setting it up and my fear of re-threading it kept me from using it for this long. Lame, right?
Yesterday I decided it was happening.
My manual was in the craft room with a sleeping toddler (who shares the room, trapped in a crib) so I tried to thread it using only the illustrations on the machine itself. Bad idea.
This resulted in a lovely wrapping of thread around a metal bar within the machine.
Serger: 1 - Emilie: 0
I then went onle and downloaded the manual. Sitting right at my computer screen and following the instructs step-by-step. No bueno.
Serger: 2 - Emilie: 0
Next I went to YouTube where I found this video by ArtistkaeSewing. This time I sat right at my computer screen and followed the instructs step-by-step.
and.....
TRIUMPH!

I love my Brother 1034D, I received it last Saturday and since that time I've used it to create some serged seams. The serged seams look amazing.
ReplyDeleteI didn't have a problem following the diagram to thread the machine correctly. I did it correctly on my first try, but not everyone finds it easy to do so I can see how a video would be helpful. I'm glad you were able to successfully thread your machine.
