This is the BEST explanation I've seen!! THANK YOU! I hope to find ALL your videos as I am a new serger user, LOVED the explanation.
Thankyou this was just what I was looking for. I now understand the loopers better, the illustrations in the manuals confused me but seeing the video with the excellent explanation have sorted things out for me.

Thank you. This video highlighted my issue which was the thread not in the tension disk correctly. Such a simple fix.
Looks like my lower looper is causing the trouble. Thank you sooo much , I'm going to experiment now but with a better knowledge ! Good job !!
Thank you for this great tutorial! I've watched a few but you explained things so well I was able to get my overlocker adjusted and up and running fairly quickly.
Thanks for the excellent explanation of tension adjustment and how to diagnose poor stitch quality. I never understood what looper did what before.
Very detailed thank you
Just what I needed, thank you!
Love your videos
Thank you so much! This was very helpful. I have been struggling with this, but thanks to you I understand what to do and what effect each looper or needle thread has to another.
Thank alot
Very helpful thank you. I have just sent my overlocker in for a service because I just couldn't get the tension settings working well ....it would look right for a few seams then not right on the next one and even breaking the thread on the left needle ! All done on the same fabric ( stretch knit T shirting). Working on three threads using the right needle made the seam too narrow.
Thanks so much for this great video. Do you have a video on how to thread the Brother Lock 925D?
