This is truly one of the best done sewing videos I've ever seen -- even better than many, many television shows. It was filmed beautifully, so it was easy to see the parts of the machine as it was threaded, and the instructions were clear and confident. At this very minute, my serger is laying dormant after I failed in threading the needless. I am taking my laptop to the sewing room and watching this again step by step. A heartfelt thankyou to Sewing Parts Online!

I have a serger just like that for two years now and I could never thread t, but I think your video just helped figured out what I was doing wrong! Thank you very very much

As a person who watches as many of the KZfaq sewing tutorials as possible, I can honestly say that this video is one of the best videos online. I'm finding the same with your other videos. Thanks.

Thank you so much for making this video. I got my serger two weeks ago and it has been in time out ever since. I am no longer angry with it and have completed my first project since viewing this tutorial two hours ago. I can't thank you enough.

I just wanted to tell you, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TEACHING ME HOW TO DO THIS! My husband bought this machine for me 2 years ago for my birthday and because I was so intimidated by it, I never used it. Now I am totally in love with it and keep a shortcut on my desktop to coach me everytime I use it. Thank you once again.

Thank you so much for doing this. I bought a serger quite some time ago with both fond and trepidatious memories of high school sewing classes. I have avoided using it out of fear about threading the machine. This was sooooo helpful!

Janice So easy to follow your instructions. Bought my machine about 4 years ago. Managed to follow manual instructions but it took me so long I gave up and put the machine in a cupboard. Now we are threaded and ready to go. Thankyou for your easy to follow tutorial.

Thank you so much for giving a visual guide, I tried all day 2 years ago and I even carried it back to the store no one knew how to thread the lower looper. The machine didn't come with a book, don't know why I didn't think to look on the web, Thank Jesus I'm sewing again!

Was ready to return the machine and give up. Then I found this video!!! It took me a few more tries, but I've got it now!!!! Successfully rethreading one time was all the confidence I needed. Thank you so much!!

excellent tutorial and video production - I was struggling with the 'easy' part of threading my NEW Singer serger. I threaded and used my first, ancient Singer serger, no problem. Then learned to sew 20 minutes later on my new Brother sewing machine. But for some reason, threading through the back hooks below the cones of this new Singer serger was giving me a tad bit o' trouble. Thank you for this!

Thank you for pointing out the different levels of the needles and for showing the threading. I had been trying to thread my lower looper first. Threading the upper looper first, and pulling each thread under the foot was the key. I cannot thank you enough!

She told me that for the time she owned it, she only used it with just one "thread" as a regular sewing machine. I am new to this machine, and plan to learn to use and enjoy it. You have been so, so very helpful, with this step by step tutorial.
