Please never take this video down! Every time I have to re-thread my overlocker I come back to it. My cat has the bad habit of biting off the threads so I have to re-thread it every now and then and your video is my lifesaver! It’s been a few years since I first watched it and I always come back to it. Best one ever!!! Thanks!
Was just about to write this! Watched this video so many times 😅
Me to, every time!
Me three!
Same. Every time 😂
When changing threads snip off existing threads at back tie new threads to cor responding threads & pull through at the exit point
Thank you Jamie. I have the 14SH654 from Aldi in Spain and it is almost exactly the same. I could never have worked the Overlocker without your tutorial. Thank you so much.
I am just about in tears. Tears of joy!!!! I have been fighting with this serger for 3 days. The ONE mistake I made was cleared up in seconds with this tutorial. Please never take this down!!! Thank you for a clear and concise tutorial!
Had my Lidl overlocker in the box for a few years and have now managed to get it going after watching your brilliant guide. Thank you.
Dear Jamie, I don't know how to express my gratitude to you. The best tutorial which has turned my nightmare with my overlocker to a joy! I am watching you from Istanbul, Turkiye. Big thanks for providing this to us.
Jamie, Your two videos on this overlocker (what we call a Serger in North America) is the best by far that I've ever seen. I've gone though my User Guide a few times and you explain things much better. As other viewers have said, please never delete this video. Thank you.
Dear Jamie, I've never experienced a better tutorial than yours! Thank you so much for your support. I'd have never been able to use my overlocker without your fantastic threading tutorial. I even recommended to a German friend who does not understand any English, but managed to get her machine started aver having followed your explanations step by step! Thank you so much and I hope you'll never take this viedeo down because I always use it when I have to rethread my overlocker. THANK YOU!!!
Hi Jamie, thank you very much for the video. It is a brilliant guide. My man, as you described in the beginning, bought cheap sewing mashin in Lidl, not knowing what it is like, not sewing at all... I played beginning of the video to him with a comment: "Listen! Listen! This guy is talking about you!" 😀 Rest of the video is for me. As experienced person with ordinary sewing mashin, you helped me a lot to even understand what is what on an overlock. I am not afraid anymore and can then start discovering this interesting equipment. Will check other videoes and learn more. Thank you again and I wish you all the best.
The most straightforward explanation of how to thread my overlocker. I now understand where I have been going wrong and have perfect stitches for the first time. Thank you
I've just been gifted this oveocker, have found your tutorial and am watching it. I've stopped in order to give you feedback. I have to say, you're fantastically clear. Thank you so much!
You are a genius!! Your instructions are very clear and concise. The camera angles and lighting ensure you can see in all the hidden areas and that bit at the end where you hand crank the needles, was the bit I missed, previously, and that's probably why I was not chaining. It's now midnight, so I will try to thread it tomorrow. Thank you so much. Looking forward to watching the other videos.
I have to hand it to you. This is as clear as it’s possible to be! I was used to a toyota and had to use a Singer and the few differences were such a headache. Your clear, concise video was terrific. And the clarity and close ups were incredibly helpful. THIS is what UA-cam was created for! Thank you. Sue
These are the best instructions I have ever followed. You are a brilliant tutor. Thank you.
Because of this video I was able to use my overlock machine like a pro within a week...Thanks so much for creating this detailed video
Great clear instruction.
Shows the important points to look on.
Greetings from switzerland from an old male learning person.
Thanks for your video and work!
Thank you once again , I come back time and time again to watch this video and get it right .
Think your tutorials should be included in the box as they are far more helpful than the manual-thank you so much.
This tutorial is a life saver, I have had this for more than 3yrs without using it. Following your tutorial and happy to say it’s up and running. Thank you so much.
First time I’ve ever used an overlocker and I got a great result. What a fantastic teacher!
Thank you so much!! I had the instruction manual, the drawings on the overlocker, and another book, and yet couldn't quite figure it out, especially for the yellow thread. Your tutorial made it all very clear - the close up shots are great! Thank you for taking the time and I'm looking forward to trying different seams with your other videos.
I bought this over locker second hand, and have never used one before. An hour ago I started watching this tutorial, I now have a piece of overlocked material. Thank you so much. The video was very clear to follow.
Just purchased this machine and I was intimidated by the set up of it until I watched this video. Very helpful instructions explaining the different parts of the machine and how to thread it. Thank you.
Thank you so much!!! I rethreaded my machine MANY times and watched alot of tutorials. Yours was the only one that mentioned coming back over the looper with the red thread... I am now off and running! I can't tell you how many times I had to cut bunched thread out of my machine! You are a very good instructor!
I watch & follow along with this video everytime I change threads on my serger. Thank you so very much for this. Without it, I would surely be lost. You have made this task a joy & something that I actually look forward to doing!
By far the most detailed and most helpful video about this paricular Singer overlock machine! Thank you so much for this.
Thank you so much for your clear explanations. I would never have succeeded without your video.
Thank you so much, I have never used an overlocker before and after throwing the instructions out of the window found you on UA-cam. Thanks again.
I can't begin to thank you enough for this video. I hope you see this. I followed everything step by step and my overlocker is working perfectly. I can't wait to watch your other vids. I'm trying to sew a new piece every week
Dear Jamie, thanks to your tutorial I finally could use this machine. And I always re watched it when I change the color of the threads. Thanks a lot!!!!
I have always heard how hard these were to thread and that's why most people buy them and never use them. I'm not at all afraid of going and looking at one tomorrow. I clean, lube and check out the sewing machines for a dog rescue thrift store before they put them out for sale. They sent me a picture of this on today and now I feel confident checking it out for them after watching this video. Thanks.
Greatly appreciated your time to share this video ! Simple & clear enough to follow.Thank you for your time!🙏
Im back again, been a little while since Ive used it and forgotten how to thread. Thank goodness you are here!
I use this video every time I need to thread my overlocker! Invaluable - thank you!
Many, many thanks for this video! My wife was really struggling to get useable stitches from this machine. I showed her this video, which is very clear and easy to follow, and now she's got her 14SH754 performing exactly as it should.
Incidentally, helping my wife with her overlocker has made me want to have a crack at making our 2-year old daughter a skirt. I never thought I'd develop any kind of interest in sewing!
My threads are breaking ? And moving from needle
Thank you so much for the VERY good tutorial video. I was so helpless with that machine. I watched lots of video. Unfortunately no one was so helpful like yours. Thank you , thank you, thank you.
You are a life saver, I have been struggling with this forever. I have had people help me but was unable to do it by myself. This is a great help.
We have one of these at our community workshop, no-one knows how to thread it. I'm going to brave it, thanks to your video. Thank you so much!
This is definitely the best serger-tutorial on UA-cam! Thank you for helping me getting started with my new serger.
I have this overlocker for well over three years. Kept in the box never opened till now. A HUGE THANK YOU for such an easy to follow tutorial and the camera angles showing all the hidden bits was amazing. THANK YOU
Wow, thank you Jamie, I would never have been able to thread this machine without watching your brilliant video. Thanks again, keep up the good work.
I recently bought my first ever overlocker, which was this model and second-hand. I've just used your video to thread it. It works and I'm delighted. Thank you! Now searching for your other tutorials!
Many thanks! I just ordered this machine and had an hard time setting it up. I was nervous, since it was used and might have been broken ; but fortunately, I was just being silly. I was threading between the plastic and the tension disks. :) The zoomed shots are greatly appreciated. I spent hours trying to get it right, and finally found this video. Took me 5 minutes and it's now ready to go!
Bought the LIDL version on Thursday. This video was essential and proves 2 things. 1.Some people are natural teachers and demonstrators and 2. This is a very underestimated machine, that when threaded correctly is probably more than adequate for the majority of home sewers.
Great video!
I’ve had this exact serger ‘brand new’ in the box for 3 years and never opened it, because I didn’t want to deal with the complex threading procedure.
Well, after watching this concise treaties I’ve finally threaded my serger this day 2/24/19 and am about to “serge the shit outta everything.”
Thanks 🙏🏾
😀 😀 😀
Well done on your serge war! 😂
Ha! I have had mine for 7 years and I literally opened the box today and threaded it! Off to ceaselessly serge!
This video was brilliant, really clear and well explained. I bought a "lidl" overlocker from eBay and it was incorrectly threaded, loops all over the place, now it's been rethreaded and runs like a dream. Thank you.
😁😃
Thank you sooooooo much. My machine had come unthreaded and the local Singer shop wouldn’t help me out. You really made it much easier than it seems . I am forever in your debt.
I keep referring back to your vlog every time my overlocker needs threading( which is very often). Thank you so much for this it’s brilliant! 😀
You are my absolute ‘go to’ every time I change the thread on my overlocker. Thank you so much for this video 👌🏼😉😁
Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial. I've watched it every time I need to thread my machine again and there's no better lesson than yours. Best regards from Southern Brazil.
Gday jamie from australia. Thank you so much , i bought this overlocker just today and had a look at the manual and went OMG what have i done, couldn’t understand a word it said, then bang here you are explaining it all in detail. Again thank you so very much, can’t wait to use it now LOL. Have a great day/week. Xx
Excellent! Thank you so much. Wish you was my teacher at school. Best teacher ever ! I’m watching this because I’ve sold my machine but needed instructions to give to buyer. Now I wish I hadn’t sold it !
I don't know how many times you and your video has saved my sewing projects.
Thank you again I’ve gone back to this video every time I’ve problem with the stitches and always thank you it works. 😇❤️
This has removed my dread of threading my overlocker. I always tied the thread of the new spool to the existing spool ..and I've had my machine for 25 years. Also only ever stuck to black n white threads because of this dread. Your video has changed all this. A shame I didn't see this years ago. A real lifesaver.
I have had this overlocker for many years now. It was wonderful when I first got it but it has been gathering dust for a while. Dusting it off yesterday I couldn't find the manual and for the life of me I couldn't work out how to fix a tension problem. I watched several videos last night, one was on cleaning and oiling the machine, which I decided to do as it has been a couple of years since last used.
While this video made me realise I made one fatal error in threading my yellow, I also noticed an error I made putting the footer plate back on. Because of the wonderful tight clear close-ups. I think this is my new favourite channel..
Absolutely brilliant and clear video. I’ve wanted an over locker for many years and got the opportunity to buy this one for a bargain price from someone who didn’t get to grips with it. I was a bit nervous to be honest because if the previous owner couldn’t use it then why should I have more success? However this video made the whole thing a piece of cake. Thank you so much
My wife has just purchased this over locker, she has found your guide clear easy to follow which makes it clearer then the booklet that comes with machine
You're a lifesaver.
God bless you for this video.
Made my threading so simple.
You have demystified my serger!
OMG - im so happy that i found this tutorial. Thank you. My locker has been unthreaded for a year and a half and 4 other people have tried to thread it for me with no success. Thanks so much.
Hi Jamie.Thank you so much for your brilliant video.My husband bought me this overlocker in 2015 and I really have not been able to use it until now.I found your video purely by accident.Thank you and greetings From Australia 🇦🇺 Moira.
Thank you so very much for your clear instructions. You have made life with the overlocker something to enjoy and not dread. Look forward to your other videos.
I had this machine since 2013 and was pulling my hair out trying to get the settings down. So I sat and watched this video. Not only did I find I was treading in the wrong order, I found I didn't need to make adjustments and the tension at all! Thank you so much for this step by step video!! Amazing help!
You are amazing and so patiently take us through this process. Thank you. I've been putting it off for ages. I found a shorter video first but the angle of the video was not helpful and a bit too rushed. So glad I found yours as youve taken your time and have perfect video angles. I found having an external light to shine on the loopers was very useful. It worked first time so I'm more than happy. 😁💜
Couldn’t do this without you Jamie, great tutorial, need to watch every time I change threads. Thank you so much.
* Omgsh ! You saved me ! Thank you so much ! I've saved like 5 of your videos now ! Such good information ! Things I didn't even know while I was in school ! I've had my machine for years and just now learned how to thread it properly ! Thank you for making this video ! God Bless !
Thank you! thank you! For a beginner, I was able to follow this tutorial. It's very clear. Please keep this video up. It's DEFINITELY VERY USEFUL! Thank you again for taking the time to do this.😀😀
Thank you so much! This video was so clear and calming that I was able to thread and use my machine perfectly on the first try!
What a brilliant video! After bashing my head against a wall this has cleared it up I can clearly see where I was going wrong now and look forward to re threading it tomorrow now rather than dreading it! Thank you
I totally agree with the last comment! Please please never take this down! I have, yet again, used it to re thread my overlocker!
I have had this machine for a few years and could never follow the instructions properly. Took it out of the cupboard and watched this tutorial , AMAZING , works a treat , Thank you
Thank you so much. Just purchased machine and had no idea looking at instruction booklet. Your instructions were so clear to follow and it worked 1st time!!!!!
I am one of those who bought it and have been afraid to use it. I havent touched it for two years. i will defenately try mine tomorrow. You are very easy to undrstandand follow.
Just bought a brand new Singer out of the box and honestly didn't know where to start. Your tutorial has helped me tremendously and i've managed to follow you from A - Z. I'm ready to move onto part 2. This is just invaluable thank you SO much
Thousand times thank you.
I started to hate this machine when my thread was broken and i paid a lot of money to take it to a shop te rethread it.
But my God, When you follow this tutorial step by step it's so easy.
I can sew anytime now and if my thread's are broken again, i will watch this video again till i get to know
how to do this by heart.
Thank you so much.

Thankyou so much. I just got my Lidl machine today and have followed your video and got it all properly threaded and overlocking and sergeing on my 1st attempt. I'm over the moon. I will have a look at your other videos and learn some more. Thanks again.x
Thank you for this video! My overlocker has been sitting at the bottom of a closet for a couple of years... and it's now working!
Just got my overlocker today and this video has resolved a tension issue, I didn’t get all threads properly between the tension discs, now I’m sewing a perfect overlocked seam 😃. I’ve have watched the second video and am looking forward to trying more seams and hems with those instructions. Thank you 😊
I know this Video Tutorial is 6 years old, but I am so glad i found it. I will be, for the first time, threading my Singer 14SH754 Overlocker, and I was so scared, now I am fine..
Just purchased the Singer overlocker from Lidl - called S010L but exactly the same. Never used one before. Very helpful video as instruction images in the manual for threading are hopeless. Thank you Jamie. You’re a lifesaver. Tomorrow I’ll start overlocking!!
Thank you so much! It was sitting in the box for over a year and I finally have the courage to get it working. The instructions that came with the machine were incomplete. I'm so glad I found your video! It's working well now. (:
A brilliant tutorial. Within the first minute, I knew what I was doing wrong. I've battled for 3 days with this. I wish I looked at the tutorial first. Thank you.
THANK YOU MR.KEMP. REALLY THANK YOU. THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN A LIFE SAVER. TOP TOP JOB. SO CLEAR,SO EASY TO FOLLOW,EVEN I CAN DO IT. THANK YOU .
Wow such a brilliant video i have saved it for future reference i agree with the previous comment..Best one ever. I have struggled threading up for years placing the upper looper thread & the lower looper thread in the wrong place ...but no more thanks to you. i am very grateful for all your help and guess what i am now going into the wardrobe to get my overlocker out and thread up. yeahhhhhhh.
Awesome, and very clear instructions, just finished threading my overlocker, thankyou, viewer from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬
You are a true blessing dear Mr. Jamie ..... I just started sewing less than a month ago and I ordered the overlocker machine too..... but I was afraid that I will catch my ears in it 😅 .....thinking that it’s very complicated 🙄😅..... but now with your wonderful help I will know exactly what I need to do......so thank you so very much for your teaching......this is a wonderful gift from God you have......not many people know how to teach others......God bless your heart and soul 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this video. I just started sewing and bought a similar model, 14CG754. I spent half a day trying to thread it without success and your video appeared in my feed. Success at last!
Jamie, thank you so much for the easiest Tutorial I have ever followed. Your camera angles showing all the hidden bits was definitely what I needed. I’m all threaded and ready to go 😊 I have also recommended you on my sewing group as you can imagine a lot of us went to Lidl and purchased one last week 😀
I bought this Overlocker years ago from Lidl (as, I think you mention, loads of people did) and it's been sat on my sewing desk intimidating me ever since. Thank you for helping me to finally get it up and running, I might actually use it now!
I really hope you are still monitoring this site as I want to express my heartfelt thanks for this video. I got my first machine 3 days ago and have been trying for this 3 days to thread the needle so showing me how to move the cutting blade will make this so much easier. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can’t wait to watch your next video once I’ve got this sorted xx
Here to thank you as well for this amazing, easy to follow tutorial. I would've never figured it out just using the manual. Thank you!!!
This was a quite excellent tutorial. A logical flow, clear explanations, no jargon and very clear photography - on a subject and machine which are not the easiest to understand for the uninitiated. Thank you very much.
I've been thinking of buying a serger for years but am a bit intimidated by it. Your video is very well done, very clear and very encouraging. Thank you so much.
You can do it!
Bought this Serger a week ago...(in 2023...) and I can only say how glad I am i found this video, 5 years after you uploaded it....... clear, concise, easy to follow... Thank you, thank you...thank you...!!!🙏🙏🙏
I have had this machine since they first came out in our local grocery store. I have no doubt it would still be sat waiting for me to thread it if it wasnt for Covid 19. Thank you for getting me to finally learn how to do it from your video. Thank you for inspiring me to sew something stretchy! Just now realise those four plastic things had a purpose and I threw them out as waste years ago!
They were cotton spool holders!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!! So easy to follow my machine is now set after being sat in its box for over a year as I was too scared to give it go. Feeling very pleased with myself. Looking forward to many more of your videos. A huge thank you also for not having stupid loud music as often these videos do over the person talking. The pace of this video was just perfect even with pausing it took me just 30 mins for whole business. Thank you again!!!!
The best tutorial and you explain everything clearly. You have given me confidence to thread my serger with no problems. God bless you.
You saved my mental health from a break down! Thank you soooo much!!
Thank you so much for this! I would never have made it without. I have had this machine for years and suddenly came to think of UA-cam! And there it was, the best instructions!
You're very welcome!
All these years I thought an overclock Machine had only one stitch. Thank you so much now I can go and experiment other stitches. This tutourial has been so informative.
Thank you for the tutorial. You are a very good teacher lots of patience. Very well explained for beginners like myself. I always refer to your tutorial. May God bless you.
I got mine 6 years ago, took one look at the instructions and promptly hid it in the back of a cupboard! Stumbled upon it when having a clear out and had the brain wave of looking on UA-cam as a last ditch attrempt and found your tutorial. I can not thank you enough. I now love my over-locker. Still have to have you guiding me through the threading process though. :)
