Thank you. I am new at sewing and I have never used a serger in my life, this girl is vintage, but she seems like a workhorse. Do you know if the needle threads go straight back from the needle and the lower threads go to the left side after all is threaded and I am ready to serge. Thanks again. The fabric just stays in place and the needles just keeps coming down with the thread, it is just making a nest. The feed dogs look like they are down.
