Hi, @textilestechs I wanted to use the overlocker but the second thread from the right was unthreaded. I tried and failed to rethread. If you know of a good video, I can try again later, the ones I found didn’t help.
Janome overlocker
@TracyD probably knows better. My experience is that it works only if you thread the machine following the numbers even if only one is unthreaded so basically rethreading all of them.
there is a video on the toolpage
Yes, exactly what @Karin has said. Unfortunately if one of the lower looper threads breaks - you have to start with number 1 followed by number 2 in sequence otherwise it will not work.
The video on the tool page is the one I always use - but you must follow it to the letter - including when it says the needles must be up or down.

Thank you. I did rethread all in order but the 2nd thread keeps wanting a life on its own. I tried to follow the video on the tool page and others. I must missing something. @TracyD, I will be there tomorrow from 10am if you want to show me how to do it properly, not fair that you have to do it so often!

The video in the toolpage and the above helped me to do it successfully.
It is such a pain! Yes, I’m in tomorrow morning and happy to go through it if still an issue.
at 8.50 min may be the part you struggle with basically explaining which thread needs to be over the other etc
