I have a brother 1034D (not expensive fancy model) that I have used a lot,very recently. I looked at several you tube videos and propped my iPad up next to the serger and practiced. You might try putting in your exact model and see if anyone posted a video about them regarding projects or threading. Google too is your friend.

I learned how to use mine by serging the cut edges of material before washing. I had bought it at auction so no accessories or manual. By serging the edges, I learned about the tension and threading. I don't even need the online manual anymore to thread it. It developed a horrible squeak so I tore it apart, oiled anything that moved against each other and fixed it. It still works! It had a lot of felt oil points that had gotten dry. Yes, just jump in and go for it!

Craftsy has at least two teachers Amy Alan and Angela Wolfe who teach serger classes and they are great. I google classes and pull up more than if I just search you tube. There are several great teachers and free classes out there.
