I wonder if they suggest zero so that the tension plates are loose - try seeing if raising the presser foot loosens the tension plates instead, then you won't have to change the numbers as much. Hope you went well with the serging!Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06518991565928059734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3254133390793484442.post-79981599790096575652012-03-08T00:01:42.374+11:002012-03-08T00:01:42.374+11:00It's a Baby Lock pro line.

I went to the fabric store and bought red and blue serger thread last night and I am going to change the thread today.

Perhaps it tells you to put it down to zero because that releases the pressure of the disks? Try and see if the disk pressure is released instead by raising the presser foot? I know what you mean about not wanting to change colour, for over a year I was overlocking everything in white... not a good look when you make a black blouse!

I think I am going to try what you suggested about pulling thread through rather than letting my machine sew them through. It messes them up every time. My booklet also says to take the tension down to 0 on all dials. I need to get better about using the right color of thread, it's been so frustrating that I avoid changing the thread at all cost. I think my machine is one of the more difficult ones to thread, it's used, I am sure the former owner felt the same.Vintage Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00427588530532828527noreply@blogger.com
