"On behalf of expertvillage.com my name is Neal Jones and I’m with A Perfect Fit Alterations, 102 Main Street in historic old town Burleson, Texas we’re at 817-447-3522. Continuing with our tour of a serger we’re now going to cover threading the machine. Threading the machine is very critical on this machine because we have pointed out a lot of the guides that we use throughout the machine to stop the thread from tangling, there are guides at the top, there are guides going through the tension controls, there are actually slots cut in the machine here in order to make sure that the thread stays where it’s suppose to go. Now this machine is extremely versatile and it does take some time to be able to familiarize yourself with and this is not as simple to operate as a regular sewing machine, so it does take patience and time to be able to do it. Now the normal serger thread comes in a cone like this one right here, now the normal serger thread is actually just a very tiny bit thinner than normal thread and this is a yellow thread that is very difficult to see you may be see it under a microscope but the normal sewing thread it’s just a little tiny bit heavier thicker than this. But there are you can use ordinary thread, now when you have an ordinary thread that you would use on a sewing machine would be in a spool like this one or a smaller spool like this one, now we would be able to use these on this machine if wanted to but we would have to make a couple of changes. The first thing we would do would be remove the device that holds the cone thread in place which will be this little device right here, that fits inside the cone and holds in place, in place of that we would then put a guide put the thread on here and we would put a guide on the top. Now of course the whole idea of putting that guide on there would be as the thread unwinds from the spool it would not become tangled on anything, so our emphasis again is on the thread not being tangled."

on 7/24/2009 Though informative this video should be renamed, maybe thread and your serger. He didn't show "How to thread a serger" at all.
