If it is a 3 threader you will have 2 loopers and one straight , but a 4 threader it is 2 loopers and 2 straight
I use to sew and that is how i did mine when i had to remove my thread
Yes, I know all that; have done it before, but since it is just for me I don't want to spend all that time trying to find the right pulling thread; faster to just cut off the serging and then re-serge when finished. And as far as patching is concerned, I thought of that too, but since the fleece is considered the front I don't want all that stitching to show . I know I am just making this more work than it need be; but it has been sitting in the repair pile for at least 3 years and it's time I get to it.
