You believe the loopers are out of alighnment...have you had this confirmed ?

First place to start is to change the needles,replace with jersey/ball point 80s needles.Second,check the threading...then check it again.Threading is vital,one mistake & it can throw the whole machine.

If when you've changed the needles & ensured the threading is correct you find the machine still doesn't function then it's time to get an expert in.It's not quite a simple a resetting the loopers,there are needle guards,take up's etc & there is very little margine for error on a serger.

So...heres the bottom line.Lets say it's going to cost $100 to have your machine repaired...consider how much it would cost to replace your machine if you got it wrong.

overlock looper are not that difficult to time but only if you got a very good idea how they should perform,most important is the position where they connect to each other,normally a cross with rh looper going behind lh looper at a specific place and order.that will be rh behind lh in the recessed areaof lh looper.can give you lots off trouble if not set properly,matter of trial and error if you not a techno
