So once I decided to make all the seams of the Breton butterfly top red, it also meant changing the colour thread of my serger - boohoo. Well, I am a bit of a novice when it comes to my serger and when I look at the diagrams it is all hieroglyphs as far as I am concerned. I could have really done it in white (so easy, all threaded) - but it was too late, I had it in my head that it would be in red.
Just to let you know, I was taught this quick way to do it - but I had never done it by myself, on my own - I had a vague memory how the different steps...
1. Snip the thread above the machine on all four spools - go on, don't worry it will be fine.
2. Replace your old thread with the new cones, and bring the new colour through the thread guide.
3. Tie the old color to the new color.
4. Pull the thread through gently - gently is the operative word here. I pulled my looper threads separately from the needle threads, but I don't think it matters - it is just easier.
5. For the left & right needle threads, don't pull the knots through the needle eyes (I couldn't). Snip the threads and re-thread both needles with the new colour.
6. Off you go - funky seams all the way!
