Wow, I'm relieved that I'm normal!!! I've had my serger for about 15 years and sometimes the threading goes great, smoothly. The easiest way is to attach the new thread with a knot and loosen the tensions pulling the thread through. If your knot is small enough the thread will pull all the way through except the needle. Then I cut off the knot and thread the eye. BUT, when the thread has broken and you can't use this method it is a real bummer!!!
I have spent and hour or more! The "path" instructions are on the
door that drops down but it doesn't show the very last part of the
looper threads, one must go over the other......or it just won't
work right! Eventually I get it, but sometimes it takes a few trys!
Always when I'm in a hurry!!! I love the machine! I wish it was
easier to thread!

I got my serger in 2004 as a bribe. My husband had promised I would not have to move again. He was hired by another company and and we moved from VA to NH. Anyway, it doesn't do some of the fancier stitches the newer ones do but I am happy with it.

Tallulah - I LOL! at your comment about not to thread at night!!! That is sooooo true!!! It always takes longer at night - I will have a more difficult time figuring out/remembering the steps! :) but during the day it seems less painful (LOL, well at least sometimes!!) :)

I also considered the colors I was working with at the time. Sometimes I'd notice that most of my fabric was in the blue family, or perhaps in the browns. Then I'd use colors that worked with the particular groups of fabrics. Sounds OCD, huh. Honestly , I'm definitely NOT, but it worked for me.
:lol:
