I'm a genius!

Post by ilovetosew » Mon Mar 02, 2009 5:08 pm

My cone of thread ran out when I was using my Gammill last night! When they delivered it and set it up they threaded it quickly and advised me to tie the end of my thread to the next cone and just draw it through instead of having to thread it. I got out my book and looked up threading, but the picture doesn't match my machine - I have a few more dials and dodads on mine. I took a guess with the thread, going this way and that way around everything, did a test run on a scrap and it worked! I was very pleased with myself! Janie

Way to go, Miss Smarty! I would have stood there looking at it and crying. I'm one of those people that has to have the instructions.

That's the way we "rethread" our sergers too. The way, your really only threading it once forever :) Amie
