Threading your serger

sewing.2008
16 years ago

They used to intimidate me but not any more. I only have 30% use of my right hand and it takes me longer but I do it and I am not afraid any longer. You know the shape of the cancer ribbons on cars. Go to your drugstore and asl for blue dental floss in the same shape. you will never have to worry about doing the loopers again. Stick the end of the floss( there are 2 ends on it) stick them both in the looper and pull it through almost all the way with your long tweezers and then put your thread in it and pull it through. Bingo threaded. The ones I have are blue plastic but I am sure the clerks at your pharmacy will know what you mean. YOU WILL LOVE THEM. I keep dropping mine on the floor and the little buggers are hard to see but I always find them. Good luck
