Heavyweight threads can be used through the chain looper thread
paths. Specific techniques may require that the thread bypass the
thread port for the thread pull to be loosened. Start with the
machine threaded with regular serger thread.
1. Open front cover and raise the presser foot.
2. Just above the threading port, clip the chain looper thread. Pull
the thread out of the upper guides and remove the thread cone.
3. Place the specialty thread on the spool pin. Thread it into the
upper guides and tension disk. Bring the thread end through
the hole just left of the jetair threading port. (This will allow the
front door to be closed while sewing. Leave approximately 12
inches (30cm) of thread to be threaded through the chain loop
er. (fig. A).
4. With machine lock button released, use the tweezers to pull the
existing looper thread out of tube extending from the threading
mechanism (fig. B). Leave the thread in the looper arm.
5. Tie the specialty thread onto the regular thread with an over
hand knot (fig. C). Pull on the regular thread from the looper
eye until the specialty thread comes through the looper eye.
6. Lay the thread end in the chain looper tray and close the side
door. (fig.D)
If the thread is heavy and the overhand knot (step #5) is too large
for the looper tube, follow directions #1 thru #6 on page. 34 to
make a thread cradle. Then:
1. Release machine lock button.
2. While holding the loose ends of the thread cradle with one
hand, use the tweezers to pull the cradle loop out of the tube
extending from the threading mechanism with the other hand.
3. Insert 2 inches (5cm) of the decorative thread into the cradle
loop. Pull on the loose ends of the thread cradle from the loop
er eye until the specialty thread comes through the chain looper
eye.Lay in the chain looper tray and close the side door.
