I do dumb things like get the blind for the window cord tangled in the thread or push all the thread things down and forget to put them up when I use it. I don't know way they are so hard to thread, I have to turn it upside down to see what I am doing and the book diagrams are so little. What a mess. They have new sergers that thread themselves. They are about 7 or 8 grand.
I know they are challenging, but if you have the little threading tool to thread the lower looper, it shouldn't be a problem to do the threading. My serger is 25 years old and I can still get the threading device at places that sell sewing notions. Good lighting is a requirement, but it shouldn't be necessary to have to turn your machine upside down to get the job done. Would it be possible for you to bring the serger to a sewing center for someone to teach you to thread it. Also, does your manual say if you need a tool to help with the threading? Good luck and happy serging.
