THREADING METHOD A-TYING
ON
The fastest and
easiest
way
to
thread
your
Baby
Lock
serger is
to cut off
the
unwanted thread
and
tie
its
end
to
the
beginning
of
the
new thread,
as
follows:
1.
Clip
the
existing thread
strands
just
above each
cone/spool.
(Figure
g)
2.
Remove
the old
thread
cones
and position
the
new
ones
on
the
stand.
Make a square
knot to tie
each
old thread
end
to
its
corresponding new thread.
3.
Clip the
needle
thread(s)
just
above
the
eye
of the
needle(s).
Attempting
to
pull the
knot
through
the
eye can bend
or
break
the
needle. (Figure
9)
4.
Make
a
few
stitches
to
separate
the
thread chain and
discard
the
needle
thread
tails. Gently
pull
the
looper
threads
-
one
at
a
time
-
until
each
knot
passes
through the
entire threading
path
of
the
machine. Snip
off
the knots
and discard
the old thread
ends.
(HINT:
As
you pull
each
thread
with your left
hand,
use
your right
hand
to
pull
the
tension
ring
forward slightly,
making
it
easier
for
the
knot
to
pass
through)
(Figure
10)
5.
Pull
the
needle thread(s)
through
in the
same
manner
and
use
the
curved
tweezers
to
rethread
the
needle(s).
6.
Place
all
threads under
the
back
of
the
presser
foot,
lower
the foot
and
sew
a
few
stitches
to
start the chain. (Figure
