Most sergers require threading in a specific order. If you break a thread, often you cannot just re-thread that one thread because it comes before another one. It is often easiest to pull out all the threads and just re-thread from scratch in the correct order. My serger has the threading order printed on the side panel so I know exactly which thread has to be done first.
I have seen denim quilts that were serged with bright red thread -- very cute!
