The 14U34 does not need to be oiled by the user.

Most Singer manuals are available here: http://www.singerco.com/support/instruction-manuals . The direct link to the manual for the Ultralock 14U34 is: http://www.singerco.com/uploads/download/664_14u34b,234b.pdf .

I hope this helps.

Possibly a bent needle. Needles should be changed every 8 hours of use.

Some sergers will unthread themselves if the thread is not threaded through the throat plate right. Especially the lower looper because there is not a lot of space for it to move. Try bringing the thread from the looper straight up through the hole in the throat plate, not to the side of the plate. You can also talk to the professionals at the link that I have attached. They are very helpful and easy to work with. Good luck Sewing Machine Repair Repair Sewing Machines Sewing Machines Repair Fix...

"Coming undone" What do you mean? Is it breaking while sewing? Is it too short and is slipping back through the needle?

If it's breaking, try changing the needle. If i's slipping back... give it some length when you thread.... and at the end of a seam Run it out... 10 inches before you cut it off close to the fabric. That little bit of thread waste will make you feel much better about your serger.

Rolled hemming on any overlocker is usually achived the following way. Right hand needle only.
Blade over to the right usually to cut wider than normal but you can vary this to suit the fabric and stitch width you want.
Thread in this needle and the upper and lower loopers. If you can source any, use woolly overlock thread in the upper looper, this fluffs out when not tensioned and covers the fabric to give the look of solid stitching. Change upper looper tension to about 2 and lower looper tension to about 6 or 7.

The lever by the plate is usually to control the little stitch finger where the stitches are formed, move it backwards and it should move back towards you?? If this happens, then you want it in the retracted (towards you) position for rolled hemming so the stitching is much smaller and the fabric can roll. Normally this stitch finger holds the fabric firm for the loopers to form the stitch over for your normal 3 or 4 thread overlock.

Now test stitch and see how it looks. Tighten the lower looper thread so it lays right beside the needle on the underside. You may need to then tighten or loosen more the upper looper, you want the upper thread to wrap all the way around to the underneath against the lower looper thread and needle.

The cut edge of fabric should roll to underneath inside your seam. Once you've got this happening, turn the stitch length down to 0.5 or so to close it right up tight. This uses heaps of thread so I usually test everything else, then close it up at the end to minimise waste.

Hope this makes sense, good luck.
