Using Specialty Threads

Threading Lightweight

Thread

Changing Threads

Beautiful stitches can be formed by serging with specialty threads, cords and ribbons. These heavier or

shinier threads can be used to enhance appearance, add strength or elasticity, or create special effects,

depending on the thread you choose.

Some specialty threads work well through the needle and loopers. There are some that are too heavy for

the needle and should only be used in the loopers.

Use the Specialty Thread chart on pages 46 and 47 as a guide keeping in mind that the threads can vary

from one manufacturer to another. It is best to sew test for best results.

Specialty thread used in the needle can be threaded in the usual way.

The ease with which they can be

threaded in the loopers, however

, depends on thread thickness.

1. Clip the existing thread at the cone and remove the cone from

the spindle (fig.A).

2. Place the new cone on the spindle. With the two threads

together, tie and overhand knot, or square knot (fig.B).

3. Raise the presser foot, and pull the old thread from under the

foot until the new thread comes through the machine.

Note: When changing a needle thread, pull the thread through

until it reaches the needle eye. Then clip off the knot (fig.C) and

rethread the needle eye manually or with the needle threader.
