I need a diagram for threading a 4 thread serger huskylock 234D. The diagram inside the cover only gives directions for 2 threads. I can't find my book. Thanks, Pat
Thanks, smitty59. I realized this in a dream about 2 weeks ago and was able to thread it. (It has been at least 5 years since I have threaded this machine and my aging brain was able to eventually pull up the file. Thanks again, PatThanks, smitty59.

Threading Serger this may be helpful even if it is not the same model. The sequence of threading loopers is VERY important. If you thread them out of order, be prepared to be frustrated beyond belief!!! Something else (I don't think she mentioned) is to ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot when threading your machine. This is true for sergers AND sewing machines!
It may be difficult to solve a computer controlled machine with as many options as the 936 serger. Stepper motors control many of the functions. You can check out this video I made 4 years ago to get an idea of where to look.
Thread the loopers following the diagram inside the front cover.
Thread the needles following the color coded dots.
Sequence:
underlooper
overlooper
needles
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.
