Same here, I do not remember how to thread my serger either!

If I have to change thread color, I take a DEEP breath, cut all the threads leaving long tails
and I attach the new thread to the old thread. Switch tension to zero (don't forget to note
where your tension was LOL). Bring all the threads slowly through. Re-thread the needle,
don't forget to reset the tension, and you're done. Easy as pie. *yeah right* LOL

Krystyna,
I also have this serger and love it. I found preaty good video on how to thread it on youtube - filmed by young woman, and threading is a snap now, there is also another video on how to figure out the tension.

I found them to be very informative, and was able to thread my serger right way first time :)

I have one I inherited and it just sits in my closet. What really do you do with a serger. I love to quilt so what could I possibly use it for when it come to quilting.

The Baby Lock air jet threading is great even for a serger novice like myself.

Love my older model surger.I was taught years ago to just tie the old & new thread together & pull it trough slowly until you have reached your needle,works every time !

I have a big old commercial serger and I love it.

You'd be surprised! I never thought I wanted one, but we got the first one at an estate sale and eventually I found I used it almost every day.
