Threading the Brother 1034DX Serger

Hello everyone, I'm Jeanette from Bodyguard Sewing and Crafts. In this video one of the things I'm going to do is show you how to rethread my

brother

1034 dx lock and like you I can see that Mellow is trained but he's a little upset right now so he's barking a little bit , so I'm going to close this door so we can try to make a little less noise in here and I think it's nice and quiet now, okay? So what I'm going to do is show you how to rethread this machine. I'm going to remove the white thread and I'm going to put black thread here, okay, so this is not difficult.

Not at all, all you have to do is follow the color of these threads and you will be able to thread the machine perfectly, so what I'm going to do is just cut each one of these off. threads and I'm going to pull out the white threads completely fine, that way we're starting the new thing and we don't have any threads there and then also what I'm going to do is change my numbers. Everything here at zero, okay, and then what I'm also going to do is I'm going to gently open this up and I'm just going to take my threads out of the machine and I'm going to take them out, and I don't think it's going to be coming out then easy oh, let me lift this up, that would have helped if I lift it up and then I cut from here and I can skip them all.

I know I could have turned the machine on and just um had all the thread coming out. but I didn't do it the easy way, okay, so you know there's a better way to do this, I'm sure, but hey, everything worked out, so now I have it and I'm ready to thread again, okay? that this

twists and now what I'm going to do is turn it off as well, okay, make sure you turn this off because you know, remember there's a knife in there and you don't want to Accidentally cut, cut yourself because that's going to be pretty ugly, so I'm going to do it.

What I normally do is make sure it's off, I set all my dials to zero and then what I also do is come over here and make sure that when you turn this knob. that you're turning it towards you and then what I do is I make sure that this line lines up with the line that you have on the side of your machine, okay, make sure that it lines up correctly like this, so now what I do What I do I'm going to do is I'm going to open this and you open it by sliding it right and then also what I'm going to do is take this number nine and I'm just going to turn it over and If you notice that it opened, okay, now your machine comes with a pair of tweezers. , oh, that's how you say tweezers and this is very, very useful to help you thread the machine, but let me show you how we thread it, the way that you thread, you go from the right and you go to the left, these are the two that thread through the hooks and go into the holes that are right here, if you see here, okay, the last two are the ones that thread onto your needles, so let me start to the right and you go to the right. left, so what I'm going to do is take my black thread and I'm going to put it in the machine and I'm going to put all four in there.

Okay, now the first three steps are the same for each of these. Okay, and this is how you thread it, you take your thread, you're going to put it in and hold the hole, the first hole and then when you have it, what you're going to do is push it back, then you're going to wrap the thread around the slot number two and you're going to pull it towards you, do this, do this. with each of the threads, okay, as you see, I'm going to go through the hole, push it back, go into that little hook and let it hang.

Okay, same thing here, push it back through the hook, there you go and grab the last one and these are. These are steps one and two, there you have it, now you see, this is number three, these little holes, okay, everyone has their own, so I'm going to take the first one and put it in this hole here, Alright. and then I'm going to let it hang here, I'm going to take this one and I'm going to put it in this hole as well because, like I said, steps one, two, and three for each of these threads are the same, okay, they just have their own individual paths.

Okay, now this is where things start to change a little bit. Okay, now what you're going to do here is you're going to see this number four, each of them has their own color. This is the first one that "You're going to thread and it's the color blue, so take this and map the blue around it, so I'm going to take this thread and I'm going to look at this hook here number five, you're going to come in here. We're going to put this on number five and then we'll see how it goes. This is very important and I'm going to have my girlfriend focus here because I want to show you something that's really important, not the blue that's underneath both of them.

The picture of this is okay, if you look above. from here you will see a blue dot and a blue dot and then on the top one you will see a blue and a green. Well, the green one is the second thread that you are going to make, so this thread is going to go through this hook and then it goes. to go around and it's going to go under here and here both, so I'm going to take this and it's going to go under both of them, okay, once it's under both of them, this is the eighth hook, so I'm going here, okay, so from here what I'm going to do is go in here, um, no, it's not eight, here goes nine, okay, nine was when I turned it over and what it does is it opens up, okay and I.

I don't know if my hands are in the way, but look, look, okay, this is nine and then this is ten, step ten is okay and then eleven is pulling it back, okay, this is the blue , so here are eight, nine is to press this switch, okay. that it had already hit and that's why it opened this is ten that's this right here so I'm going to take this and I'm going to put it right behind you you have to be careful too because you know there's a knife there you know, I have the machine off, but you put it right behind here, go see how I got it, it was right behind here, okay, that's this here, it's number 10.

Now I have to put it in this hole here. this this hole is this hole so I'm going to take this and I'm going to put it in this hole right here, okay, that's what I mean, uh, record, are we recording, oh, are we recording, sorry guys, it's okay so I We thought we thought the camera turned towards us so as you can see let me get this out of here okay I'm the last step we were on I was here and see okay so I want you guys to see and 11 is so you just pull this back, okay, you just take this, you pull a lot of it and then what you do is you just pull this thread back.

I mean, this isn't hard to do, it's just once you get to know everything. Then the steps become very easy, so I just want you guys to see, I'm going to have my girlfriend, just follow my thing, see, it goes in here, it goes on this hook. This is wrong right away. I see this is it. wrong, this goes under both of them, okay, look how I had it on one, this goes under both of them, okay, let me pull this a little bit, there you go, so go under both of them and then go in there, go and look, throw it behind, here you go on this. hook and then you have to hook it over here and then it goes into this hole and then you just pull it out, so that's the first thread.

Now here we are, we're on the second one right here. Okay, now this is the green one. so we're going to follow the green line, okay, here it goes, it goes on this hook here now, if you look here, it doesn't go under both of them, it goes right in the middle of both of them, okay, because it just goes under. one, so I'm going to take this and I'm going to put it right there, so okay, look how I picked it up, this goes in here, look, this was six, this is seven and eight is the needle, so I'm going to put it.

I'm going to thread this here, so thread it right into that hole, hopefully, it'll go in, yeah, yeah, wow, it goes pretty easy, okay, cool, and then I'll pull a little bit out and then of course you'll push all this in. the way back, okay, there you go, and that's the other thing too, when you remove it, see how it is so you can make sure it's aligned correctly, okay, as you can see, the green one went into this hook, It's between these two they went up to number seven and this is number eight and then you push it back.

Well, now it gets a lot easier. This is the third. This one is very easy. You don't even come in here. What you do is just pull. back, go to the side, okay, and then you'll come in here, now pay attention to this little slit you have here, okay, the pink goes to the right of this slit like this, okay, so what you're going to do is your. You're going to put it here, okay, and you're going to put it on this needle, the needle all the way to the right, so now I'm going to thread the needle and to thread the needle, I'm going to cut this. a little bit to make it pretty um just thread the needle and sometimes this can take a little time and no, I did it the first time not bad not bad for an old lady who wears glasses not bad okay and I'm going to throw away of this and Make sure it's going correctly because it looked like it got caught on something and it got stuck look, that's what you have to make sure too, oh, do I have to rethread it?

I'm sure, he's fine, he got stuck on something. here, that's why it's important that you pull the thread all the way back to make sure you really have it right, there you go perfect and I'm going to push this one back too, here we all go. Now we have three, we're almost there, okay, this is the last one. Now you take the same thing, almost the same as what you did with number four, except it doesn't go under this slit, it goes over here and then what are you going to do? What you have to do is put it on the left and then put it right underneath, behind here and now what you're going to do is put it on this needle for the left side and I've got it, I think so, let me take my little tweezers, pull it out there, let's go perfect, now I'm going to take this.

I have more available now, let's try this and see if it works. Okay, so I'm going to close this, okay, I'm going to move my dials to a four and let me take a piece of scrap fabric, turn it on and get some scrap fabric here, here we go and let's see if this works well, I'm just going to let me do it from Oops, drop that, okay, okay, just do it this way, okay, lift your foot, okay, your catch and let's try it, I'll take it out, yeah. Perfect, look, I have my chain, so there you go, there it goes, perfect and now I have my thread, my breath thread there, so it's not, it's not difficult, guys, all you have to do is follow this , take your time and my trick is. make sure to pull the thread all the way back to make sure it doesn't get caught on anything, but as you can see, perfect, it's very easy to do, so I hope you like this video and give it a thumbs up. above subscribe to my channel if you are new and happy sewing and embroidering bye
