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.

Don't worry. If it doesn't work as advertised, it's still a hefty brick-of-a-thing; a great tool of thuggery. If you can't join with it, beat with it.
