Amazing...always wondered exactly how that worked.

Now I would like to meet the guy who invented the threading of a Serger. Only an engineer would come up with such a hideous way. I brt he never used one.

Thanks for posting that! That is way cool! Now we know why we have to keep the lint out of the bobbin area. I didn't know the thread went completely around it like that.

His was different from the image that is shown but that gives a good idea of how it works. His was a chain stitch and did not use a bobbin thread.

And just think they did all of this engineering with out a computer it was all trial and error, paper and pencil!

Ditto. I always thought that the piece that goes around just sat there, maybe going back and forth a little, but not all the way around...

I might have to start watching the bobbin casing as I sew... that can't possibly turn out bad for the quilt, right? :shock:

Lucy, If you start watching the bobbin while you're quilting, how about letting us know how that works out for ya? lol

no, Moonpi, people don't think your dreams are odd. people think YOU'RE odd :roll: that's why we love you. :lol: :lol:

Well, I guess I'm dense, because I still don't see how just one side of the loop (yellow) gets around the thread and I'm getting dizzy watching it!

The hook is tapered so that it brings the thread to the side of the other before it releases it.
