Auuugh!!

I just bought myself a new serger. Hooray! (I bought it in person today because the one I ordered on line was cancelled. Blah.)

But!! I am working on setting the ratzenfratzen thing up, and I had forgotten what a gigantic pain those things are to thread. No matter what I do I seem to keep on messing up the fourth thread/lower looper thread. It looks to me like I've done it right, but no, it doesn't work.

This is when I really, really miss living in the same area as my friends who sew. I could really use a sympathetic ear, and another pair of eyes to look at it and see where I'm going wrong.

You should probably drink more before during and after setting up any complicated piece of machinery. You'll find that you won't mind those little setbacks as much.
