Threading a Juki MO-6816S 5 thread serger. We make a mistake in the video threading the safety stitch looper. We do go back and fix it later in the video. sewinggold.com...
OK so when you’re finished with the outside looper thread where do you place it so that it connects to the needle and makes the safety stitch that’s a tad confusing I can’t get mine to create the safety stitch
I can’t get the machine to pick up the “bobbin” thread (the first one I threaded). I have watched and followed your video - any suggestions what I might be doing wrong?
@@Sewinggold thank you. What about the chain stitch threads? Do I have to pull out all the threading? Is there a way to leave at least that back one that is hard to get to somehow still threaded?
Really interested in this machine for when I have heavy fabrics. Can the safety stitch width be adjusted to be sewn closer to the chain stitching? Can the Heavy 50H models work with medium fabrics also?
The chainstitch width cannot be adjusted. The 50H will sew just fine on medium material. The 60H is really the heavy-duty model. The 50H I would consider medium.
Hi Steve, HELP!!!! I just got a new serger like this but the thread for the outer stitch tension is so much that it keeps breaking and does not sew. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong. I followed your video and the threading is exactly as you demonstrated.
Curious as to the maximum needle size and thread size that can be used. I have seen references to using 69 with 16/18's. Curious about 92 with maybe 20/22's. Thank you
I would use size 16 at the most on this machine. Depending on the type of thread, T70 would be the largest. I would stick with T45. Bonded thread will not work well in this machine. We do have an MO-6716S-FF60H that can use up to a size 22 needle. It can use the heavier threads. We have used T70 bonded nylon in it.
