I have had my serger for 3 years now and it works like a gem when it comes to overlock stitches. I have spent 2 days trying to create a coverstitch. I have my DVD, manual and you tube helping me to make sure that it is threaded correctly. The thread in both needles (A & E) do not create stitches. The machine is set up for coverstitch wide. My spools of thread are located on D A and B. D and A are threaded thru the A & E needles. I have followed the instruction to thread B with the orange dots. I do not know what I am doing wrong. I am getting frustrated. Please help me understand what I have done wrong so that I can correct it. Thank you Jeanne
I just went thru the EXACT same thing, pulled up YouTube videos and discovered it was all about (1) how the LOOPER was threaded (the video taught me it is called "the puppy dogs head/ears" and that to thread it you follow the path of the ORANGE DOT (which often is combined with either blue/black, but just look for the ORANGE dot path no matter what the other color is with it) and that thread goes: "Around the puppy dog's neck and behind his ears". Honest to God this was part of my problem. (2) TENSION settings: I also discovered that even though the 936 has the adviser has all recommended settings for the stitches, you still NEED to tinker with the tensions. Specifically, I was set up for the WIDE COVERSTITCH to hem a knit skirt. I selected the KNIT MEDIUM (Auto M4) stitch and used these tensions: A needle 4, E needle 6, Looper was ok at 3. It worked like a charm and FINALLY I can do the stitch! Seriously, there are many YouTube videos (many lousy quality) that actually show and explain this stitch and how to set up your machine. Hope this helps!!! Good luck and happy sewing!
Thank you so much for your detailed tips! They were extremely helpful and I now can do a nice coverstitch on my machine!! :)

You may have knocked the machine out of time if the machine does not pick up stitches.
SOURCE: thread wont overlock
When the thread breaks too often, try these, that goes for all sewing machines
1. Replace the needles,
2. Loosen slightly the tension of the needle threads.
3. The top threads are to thin,
4.The sewing (rotary) hook or looper, has burs,
5. Wrong threading
