Step 7: Threading Tips for the Serger
•
•
•
•

Use good quality serger thread. This thread is sold in
larger 3000 yd. spools at most fabric and sewing retailers.
Use the same brand of thread in all tensions, do not mix
and match brands.
Use the same size spools on all cone adapters that are
located at the back of the machine when threading your
serger.
Try to avoid black thread; it tends to cause static, leading
to skipped stitches. Use a dark grey or navy instead. If
you must use black, then thread-up the needles with
black, but use grey or navy in the loopers.
