    this does not help with a new machine that does NOT have thread to pull through

        Kind thought – but my complaint was that I never got to watch the serger video: ALL I SAW WAS ADS!!

    Although Aurora Sisneros did a great job explaining re-threading a serger, I recently purchased an older model serger that is not self-threading, so I would really appreciate a tutorial on How To Thread Any Serger.

    I was a bit disappointed it wasn’t on threading the serger, as that’s where the problem is I’m having, but I noticed on the video to the left, that it says easy serger thread change. Would it be possible to have one on threading a serger? Thank you!

    Why does take so long to explain a simple task? If you lift the foot the cotton should just pull through. I am a retired couture seamstress with many years of experience. You are making this look far more difficult than it is!

    It is a shame that Judi Jackson Reiss feels the way she does regarding the instructions you gave regarding threading a serger. I have several friends that teach sewing, and they all say the same regarding this process. If it works, why not!

    This is a very good tip for “Re-threading a Serger” or “Adding a New Spool of Thread on a Serger”. But, I agree with Judi, it is not good for anyone trying to thread a serger from “scratch”. This threading job is always a pain for me and can really be frustrating if the thread breaks during a project.

    This is exactly how I do mine but I just connect them and begin sewing slowly and they come right through but like you said you may have to rethread the needle.

    This is ridiculous. Not what was expected. I thought by reading the description, I would actually see a good video on how to thread servers. If this is your idea of a lesson, no way will I pay for it!
