Serger Problem

[Wyattsmommie04]

I got a babylock serger for Christmas from my DH and I am having the hardest time getting it threaded. The 3rd spool, or the one on the far right, part of the threading is inside the machine. I don't know how to explain it? I'm really excited to use it, but I can't figure out how to do this. If anyone has this kind of serger could you please help me. This is so frustrating. Thanks.

Which Babylock do you have?

I have the Imagine, and it came with a little chart that shows all the threading pathways. Do you have some sort of chart or instruction book?

One time I tried to thread mine and there was apparently something caught in the part that auto-threads (inside the little "woosh" tube). I was about to break into tears, it was sooooo frustrating, since the thread wouldn't "woosh" on through. Finally I took all the thread out and ran it a bit (using the foot pedal) sans thread. That cleaned out whatever was caught in the tube, and I was then able to thread it.

Also, my Babylock came with lessons. Did yours?

I finally figured it out, I didn't know that another part opened and that's how I got under it and finished threading it. I kinda feel stupid now. LOL.
