The 4-Step No-Tears Way to REthread your Overlocker - Day 12 Blog'fest

To celebrate the successful purchase of my second new-2nd-hand Overlocker
(which sews like a dream) I'd like to share with those of you that have Overlockers and don't use them because you're afraid of re-threading them,
how all professional sewers re-thread their Overlockers.

1. Cut off the existing threads & remove the spools.

2. Replace with the new colour spools & knot the new thread to the old thread.

 3. Take note of the numbers the tension dials are on and

 dial them all to 'O' or the lowest number possible.

4. Cut the thread from the needle & pull the knotted threads until they have passed through all the tension dials, loops & holes and the needle thread is ready for re-threading.

I use a pair of tweezers for threading the needle/s.

It takes seconds!

If the thread breaks at any stage just simply follow the colour coded map which is on the inside of the sliding door at the front of the machine.

For a professional finish to a garment you can't beat an Overlocker!
