Aloha, ukeboy57
Be sure to change the needle frequently, ie every time you start a new project. Needles will cause a great deal of frustration yet are the least expensive item to fix.
First, read your manual. Typically there are color coded thread paths. Follow those IN ORDER. If you need help threading the needles, use tweezers or a needle threader. I often take off my left needle to achieve threading the right one.
Hi there,
The different colors only correspond with the size of the needle. Green is actually a size 18 (110) needles which is basically as big as they come!
your best bet would be to go with a size 11 (75) or 12 (80) needle. For the Kenmore color coding it would blue or orange respectively.
Hope this helps
Solution taken from "Handbook for Huskylock Sewing Machine Models 1001L/1000L/1000"
1. Raise the presser foot by using presser foot lever. When the presser foot is raised, the two thread tension discs in the thread tension control panel are released so that thread passes freely between them. Otherwise thread tension may not be correct.
Important! When threading the needle, always be sure to lift the presser foot lever, and also take care to thread in the proper order.
Threading order: 1. Upper looper thread (green) 2. Lower looper thread (blue) 3. Double chain stitch looper thread (purple) in case of 5 thread stitch or double chain stitch 4. Right needle thread (red) 5. Left needle thread or double chain needle thread (yellow)
Caution! Because the left thread tension dial (yellow) is used for either the left needle or the double chain stitch needle, these needles will never be used at the same time.
Upper looper (green) sequence: 1. Thread holder (silver triangle openings attached to thread holder stand) 2. Thread guide (flat silver clips just behind thread tension disc) 3. Thread tension disc (circular knobs with numbers for tension setting) 4. Pull thread around upper looper guide and upper looper 5. Pull thread into hole of upper looper
Lower looper (blue) Repeat 1, 2, 3. 4. Pull thread around guide (see color coded chart inside front serger cover).
Easy threading mechanism (for lower looper) 1. Pull out the lower looper threading lever 2. Thread the lower looper and position the thread on hook of the lower looper threading lever. 3. Push the lower looper threading lever back to its basic position while holding the end of the thread.
Caution: When returning the lower looper threading lever, always make sure that the two blue triangle marks (directional arrows) meet each other.
Right needle thread (red) Left needle thread (yellow) Important: Thread the needles after threading of lower looper and upper looper. First raise the presser foot lever, and then thread the needle threads in order shown in color coded thread guide.
