Re: My aunt just gave me this Baby Lock Pro Line Serger...
Baby Lock is a very good serger. Have you ever used one before? If not, be sure to read through the manual carefully before you try to use it. They're not just like other sewing machines. Enjoy.

Try rethreading it using the order: 3, 4, 2, 1. If you are threading it in the wrong order it will give you problems. Afterwards, you will need to carefully adjust the tension controls. This can be done more easily using four different colored threads.
Make sure the lower looper thread is seated properly in the tension disk. (RAISE the presser foot. Grasp the thread between the thread tree and the tension disk and with the other hand, grasp the thread below the tension disk and give a little tug.) When threading, always RAISE the presser foot so the tension disks are released.
If the lower looper thread is still too loose, set it to a tighter setting until it creates the stitch you want.
I use a small screw driver to undo the screw, insert the needle all the way into the needle holder--flat side to the back of the machine, then tighten the screw back
here's a tip I learned for sewing machine or serger
do one thread cone at a time-the cone or spool that's on the serger--cut the thread close to the cone-then remove the cone from the serger ,,don't remove the thread that you just cut from the serger,,now put your thread on the spindle & tie your thread to the thread that you just cut (make sure it's a small knot) now the thread that's in the needle pull until the thread that in the needle is your & then cut off the other thread & make sure to cut of the knot part & leave a thread tail of 4 to 6 inches
You will have to order the manual from a Baby Lock dealer.
This model may have to be threaded in a certain order.
Try raising the presser foot and setting the tensions to zero.
Turn the handwheel so the upper looper (the curved one) is at it's highest position - there may be a mark on the side of the serger where you align the handwheel for this.
Thread the upper looper and then the lower looper and then the needles.
Pull the threads under the presser foot and toward the side of the serger.
Set the tensions back to 4 - 6, lower the presser foot.
Hold onto the thread tails and gently press the power pedal to begin a thread chain before serging fabric.
