I’m so hot i feel like i’ve ran a 5k marathon!! honestly could overlocker be anymore fiddly to thread?!? I thought to myself “it’s a new machine, learn how to thread it from the start” stupid stupid idea. Taken me an hour and a half! THANK YOU Abi! the only clear tutorial on how to thread my new machine! 👏👏👏

Thank you so much for making this tutorial! I spent 2 hours this morning trying to rethread the lower loop after a needle broke on a 3 minute job. The instruction manual isn’t easy to navigate and the information you gave about the threader (which is very confusing in the manual when you don’t know what they are talking about!) really helped to demystify the pictures on page 32. Also, following your tutorial I realised the order of threading is important as I had rethreaded the lower loop correctly, but couldn’t understand why the thread broke each time I started using it. Thank you also for explaining about how much easier it is to thread when you lower the blade and remove the foot. I really am so grateful to you for this video and for helping me to understand my machine!

Hi Abi, you have just saved me from going insane and chucking my overlocker out the window, which would be a shame as ive always wanted one and finally have it! The official video on this was so confusing with the green thread, im so glad I gave up on it and found yours, its was so clear. Thank you! 😊

I don’t know how I’d manage to re-thread without this video. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this tutorial, best ever. I almost threw mine out of the window before I watched this!

I know some of these comments are fairly old but as someone who is new to my Overlocker your guidance has been a life saver.

THANK YOU!!! I have been too scared to re-thread this overlocker for a year! You have made it so simple that I feel rather foolish for putting it off for so long. Thanks so much! x

Thank you Abi after spending 4 hours and breaking two needles trying to find the guide I came to KZfaq and found your video , you literally saved my sanity. Thank you

Than you very much Abbi - I would never have been able to re-thread my 9200D if not for your excellent tutorial!

Hi Abbi, I was given my Janome without instructions, you won't believe how long it has taken me to learn how to thread this machine and work out how this machine works. Thank you so much for adding the link for the instuctions. Keep up with the great Tutorials.

Thank you! Putting the blade down and removing the foot was the trick that did it for me! What a difference! Now I can get this project done!

Thank you for putting this on have managed to rethread my overlocker

THANKS a lot! I got there. You've given the clearest 'how to' of any I've watched. :)

Well done, I have watched the official website for threading the Janome overlocker without being told of the second eye to thread through from left to right, for the "green" information. You made it so clear and suddenly it became so obvious what I was doing incorrectly. Brilliant, please take a bow! Thank you very much. Rita

Good afternoon Abi, After many frustrating attempts at trying to thread my overlocker I found your tutorial and it has saved my sanity. After moving the cutting knife it has been so much easier. I cannot express my thanks to you enough!

This was a fantastic video. You are right , the directions that come with it are so confusing . Taking the foot off and disengaging the knife was so helpful. I have the Mod 8933 and like someone else said, it’s almost identical to the one in your video. I was able to do it right the first time. Thank you so much.

Fabulous tutorial, clear and very easy to follow. Thank you

Phew! I unpacked my overlocker today, and knotted new threads on as per the instructions and nearly wept when it didn’t work. Your video saved the day. Thank you so much!

Thank you. I’ve had this machine for years and been afraid to use it. Suddenly it’s brilliant, thank you.

After trying for 2 days...a couple of hours each, I got it! The lower looper is tough! I could see from my stitches that it was the trouble maker! Your video is a life saver!!!! It's very clear and easy to follow. I'm very new to sewing and just got my serger (Mod-8933). So glad your model was almost identical! I was tempted to get the Brother model bc of is popularity but this model was rated a little higher and for longevity, the better machine. So glad I purchased this one as everything has a learning curve. 😊

Thank you so much. I had been sitting swearing at my overlocker for 40 mins before watching your video, and as soon as I watched it, I could thread my machine!

Thank you very much. I bought this dreaded machine at the beginning of lockdown; Mar/Apr. When I saw the instructions I knew that it would be trouble. So, for the 1st few occasions that I used it, I tied my threads to the one that came with it until luck ran out. Then today I had to thread it. Overlockers are fiddly to thread most of the time, but this one takes it to another level. Brother; at anytime. As soon as CV19 packs its bags and go, I shall go and service my old reliable Brother of 15 years. Brother; the best at anytime. Thanks once again.

Your tutorial is SO helpful! You take your take and patiently go through each step. Thank you!

Hi Abi, thank you very much for the very very helpful and detailed instruction for threading on a Janome Overlocker, with all your help I got to finish threading my overclocker and it is working wonderfully! I am so happy and so grateful for your tutorial!

You are an angel, new serger 300xd my thread kept snapping as l had trouble threading the first looper you have made me so happy. A huge thanks

I will be forever grateful for this video, its my 'go to' whenever i have to re-thread my overlocker which thankfully is not too often. Thank you xxxxx

THANK YOU! You are so very clear in your instructions and advice.

Thank you so much! Im so grateful for your generosity in creating this video. Now I think I understand how the green looper is threaded. Xx

thank you, thank you, thank you...............Soooooooooooo much! I have struggled to re-thread my 9200D overlocker and consequently have not used it for a long, long time. Came across your instruction video which is so good to follow.

Thank you very much for this video. It's always a struggle for me to thread my serger. Your video helped a lot.

Thank you! You have stopped the swearing that was being hurled at the thing for the past five days! Great video and I love your calm xx

Thank you so much for this! I have not used my overlocker for over 10 months as it needed to be re-threaded and the manual is not great. Your video is so helpful and I managed to get it threaded and up and running.

Thank you!!! Your instructions were great! I didn't know how to move the cutting knife.nor how to lift the sewing foot. I will be checking in again. This is my first Janome.

I'm so glad I found your video again. You helped me a while back when I first got my serger and I messed it up trying to retread. This video is so good! Thanks for posting it.

Hi Debbie. Thank you for all your demo’s. I can listen to you all day long. Keep up the brilliant work. X

Thank you! Thank you! I spent two days trying to follow the manual with no success. You made this so easy!!!

So incredibly helpful!!! Thank you!

I feel like I can do this now! Thank you!

Thank you for this! It’s just what I needed today

Hi Abi. Thank you so so much. It was the lower looper that i could not get right. I will get it back out of it's box. And have a go. Thank you again. think i need to come too your class.👍😊🤞

Thanks! That video was so much easier to follow than the other ones I found.

Thank you so much Abu, just had to retreat my Janome for the first time and this saved me x

Thank you! Got my first overlock and got it right with the first tima :)

Thank you so much that was so helpful - I managed to finally thread my interlocker 👍🏻🙂

Hi Abi, can't thank you enough for making this fantastic vlog. I always struggle to thread my janome, so frustrating!! I sat for 3 hours with the instruction book, and could not get the machine to stitch properly. You are right, the instructions are not as clear as they could be. But your vlog was just so clear and informative, thank you so much. You have saved me a fortune as I was ready to take the machine to my local Janome agent!!

Oops! Decided to ask my husband to see if he could do it. So I showed him what was needed and how it simply wasn't working and lo and behold! it suddenyly clicked! He reckons it was the way he was standing, watching that did it;-)

Thank you for a lovely clear demo. I just couldn't get the last step of the lower looper. I watched another demo first but I was none the wiser. I am going great guns now.

Thank you so much for your video my Janome came with a CD that you can watch but you are better and more thorough 😊

Thank you so much, this has helped me out and got me back up and running :)

Hi. Love your you tube demo.

This is so helpful, thank you!

Thank you so much, fab instructions!!

You are amazing thanks so so much for doing this ❤️

I think I'll not have the patience for this model..😂. Very helpful video to show the steps, thank you x

Wow. I wish I had had this when I got my overlocker. Used to take two of us and a magnifying glass. I’m better at it now. The instructions in the manual are also not the best. Great video ✅

Thank you so much, I am much better when I see instructions and no good with a manual

Thank you ! thank you ! thank you! sooooo much for this video Abi❤️

Dear abi you are the best

thank you so much!!

Thank you so much. I couldnt rethread it and every time i tried made me feel so frustrated. ❤❤

Good grief, now I know never to buy a Janome serger! This was a whole lotta trouble to thread. Makes me appreciate my little Brother!

I would not have gotten my serger started if it was not for this video. Meegwetch (many thanks in Ojibway)

Thank you, thank you! I was ready to toss it out the window. Your explanation was spot on. xo

Great video, you’ve explained it so well. I’m still struggling though! I have no chain of stitches just straight thread. Any ideas?

You didn’t use the gadget threader you said you would?

What is the gadget you mention to purchase to help threading

Thanks for great video. I am able to thread the hidden guides for the lower looper reasonably well, but frequently have an issue with one or both loopers coming unthreaded once I run with the new thread. Is there a specific way that the lower looper thread has to go in relation to the upper looper thread as this is all I can think, but I do thread in the correct order and pull the first thread under the foot and to the left side before threading the upper looper? Thanks.

Thanks for video. Followed directions but my machine still won’t chain. I have been working on rethreading for two days. Nothing seems to work. But I appreciate the video

Abi, these are great instructions, thank you. BUT I'm now having a problem putting the presser foot back on! Is there a trick to this? I can't seem to find any instructions for changing presser feet on Janome's site that might help.

Great Video. Too bad Janome doesn't provide a better link for threading. Instructional DVD came with new machine I purchased but who uses DVD anymore!!!

What an absolute star ⭐ you are. It’s been a while since I’ve used my overlocker so your tutorial was fantastic! Thank you so much. I’m just about to make a towelling beach robe, any tips on tensions or is it just trial and error? Thank you Heather 🙃

Hello, I recently picked up this machine 9200D (first overlocker :D ) and am trying to work out whether the pedal is faulty or not - is the machine supposed to be variable speed? Its terrifyingly fast.

Hi abbi, I have a Janome harmony 9102d. Do I thread this overlocker the same as your demo. I have looked at instruction book , I find it confusing. You are more explanatory and I can understand what your doing. I’m not a no is to overlocker but my daughter sold this one to me and it keeps breaking the threads. So I can only put it down to the threading by doing it wrong. Hope you can help me or advice me.

Hi Abi! Thanks so much for the tutorial. For some reason my lower looper on this machine keeps coming unthreaded and I don’t know what to do 😭 have you got any tips?

Just unpacked my brandnew Janome 9300dx, all threaded up and ready to go, but the engine just whizzes and doesn't drive the machine. If I turn the handle it will sew beautifully manually but the pedal is powered but doesn't drive the needles or anything. Any help gratefully recieved. Jo

Hi, do you have the video showing how to use the threading gadget

I threaded my overlocker a d managed about 6 inches of fabric ok. But then the needle thread broke and keeps happening help please. Is my tension wrong

👏

great instructions but I can't replace the pressure foot ! it just wont click into place.

I have the Janome 9300DX model I have watched the video ( which is in this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qbaCfNNo3J-ulmw.html it does not include the lower looper threader in the video) the machine is excellent as it has the lay in tension not the beehive tension

👏👗

Hi, John Lewis have the guide as a PDF and the threading isn’t quite the same. Your third thread in, that goes through the right needle, goes underneath the chrome bar, not across it. johnlewis.scene7.com/is/content/JohnLewis/231340609mnl1pdf?

Thank you so much I was struggling and now I know 🫣
