There are some good tutorials on YouTube for treading sergers, because you have to tread it in a certain order or the knife will cut the tread. I also found that tweezers help to get the tread through the small places. Mine came with strings already threaded through the machine you can tie your thread to the strings and pull it all the way through the machine that's supposed to be the easiest way. I had to take mine to a shop and the nice man charged me $25 to thread it. Good luck!

Disassemble and make sure the final cable (can't remember what it is called.. But it's the last thing you do before you start re screwing everything together) is clamped good. I had to give it 2 tries before this worked. Good luck!

Yeah I have trouble too, its too smooth. Screws on too easily. I used some sandpaper and a vinegar dip to make it rust up a little. The rust makes it harder to turn so it won't come on accidentally.

It takes an 1 1/4 NPT thread. I haven't had a chance to use it yet so I can't comment on how well it works. Tim

Reread the instructions and make sure you didn't miss something. Then call Krups. You may have to hang up and call back in a few times until you get someone that bothered to learn the machines.

The starter thread is usually wrapped at a slightly different angle than the rest of the thread (you have to look closely). Once you find that single thread, just slip a straight pin or something under it and give a bit of a pull. The end will come out from the top of the thread cone.

its easy until you get to the loop at the top --in other words picture you put the spool on the top you go down one side and up the other the metal looper that comes out of the top should come out a little more so you can attach the thread there---I always have to use tweezers to get the thread in.....after that it is easy. its good you asked this question because it is a good little machine and this is the only part that annoys me about it....I wonder what others have to say!!

Nope, I tried that first and it didn't thread on. So, I bought the ATI one.

You haven't assembled it correctly. Try again. If this persists then I'd contact Omega

I've had this issue since I bought it a year ago. It's a piece of.... If you figure it out let me know cus I was never able to.

I had the same issue at first, now I just push and turn and it grabs the threads.

Put a few drops of medium strength (blue) thread lock on the thread before you tighten it if you are worried about it vibrating loose over time...

I had the same problem. I kept fiddling with the alignment of the parts - rotating and locking, etc - and I finally got it right. I was almost ready to give up though. I wish I could remember the sequence and rotation of the parts, for you.

Make sure you're trying to turn the collar only... its right hand thread so turn counter clockwise as you're looking at the tip head on... try wrapping a rag around the collar and use a channel lock style pliers

The threads are reverse. It took me a good bit to figure that out. Turn the nut the opposite way... Righty loosey. Good luck

try screwing them a little then slightly tap them with a hammer, be sure they are facing forward. if all else fails wrap a little duct tape around the threads and again tap them with a hammer.

I had a similar issue. I ended up drilling the hole a little larger and used a butterfly/toggle bolt. It pulled up tight and has been working well for about 6 months.
