I have a Singer Quantumlock 5/4/3/2. Not un-threading it is not option! The best advice I can give is go slow, don't panic and practice, practice, practice! When I upgraded to this machine I dedicated a few days to just practicing the various stitches and learning the threading patterns.

You'll be glad you learned once you're able to use the machine with confidence.

Good luck!

You must have double clicked!!!

It just takes practice, once you understand and have done it several times (and several more), wala! I have two sergers, they both are pistols to thread, however I mastered them by trying and trying again, then it clicked!Can thread either one of them without isse. I don't think they are for everyone though!

Go onto the Net and 'google' for the instructions. Most brands have instructions available. Having said that, the 3rd and last serger that I have owned is a Babylock. It almost threads itself - it has an air mechanism that blows the thread through the two difficult loopers and instructions inside the lid to do the rest. After all the dramas I had with the other machines, this one is superb.

Oh my, I have been researching brands to buy a serger for the first time. Reading about all this agony is making me wonder if I really want one. I have Janome sewing and embroidery machines and they are wonderful, so I was homing in on a Janome serger. I surely cannot afford a self threading any-model...maybe my DH (engineer) can save me if I need him!
