Hi Everyone!  As we continue on with National Serger Month, I hope that by now you’ve learned how to thread your sergers and change the threads with confidence!

If you’re having issues now and then and have no answers why, this video on Threading the Tensions Disks will probably help.  This seems to be a common issue for those that forget to lift their presser foot and set all dials to -0- when rethreading.  These 2 steps really are important when threading most sergers like the Singer Pro Finish.  It’s just all part of creating good sewing habits when learning to use a serger or any machine really.

Here’s the link to the original blog post with more photos and information on the Tension Disks.

I have received countless emails and messages on how this video was a game changer  in finally helping them be successful with their sergers.  Lets be honest.  Learning anything new is not easy.  My point is to take the time to learn and practice how to thread a serger and then make a friend for life.  This video will help take the frustration out of threading in the center of the tension disk which you may not have even seen before.  Most people think there’s an issue with the machine and play the blame game.  The reality is that it’s usually user error and that’s ok.  We all make mistakes and need to be open to correcting bad habits.  Owning and learning to use a serger opens up a whole new world of sewing possibilities and opportunities.
