I ordered the metallic thread and have lost the instructions. I can not remember the recomended needle size. What size needles do you use?

I use my regular needles but I have to lighten up on the tension so its not so tight and breaks the thread. Hope this helps.

I would suggest maybe getting a strong pair of reading glasses or a magnifying glass to help you thread your needle. As for thread you can use any thread. I will admit the shorter spools work better but the regular work just fine.

I was asked if I could answer this for you, although I use this Fireline bead thread and I must say in the years I have been using it not once has anything come apart that I have made with it. I can say I use the crystal 4ib/size B and it is really strong. On Amazon you can get a better deal and more of this for your money. I would probably go higher then the one I use which is 0.006" for your loom work. Give it a go, I would think it will do what you want it for. But I have not tried loom work before, so I can only say try it once it may be just what your looking for. Hope this helps a little, Liz.

You can get an adapter, usually I see wooden ones that the spool goes on giving a firmer grip on the machine. I would go for a bigger spool for a serger since these don't have a lot to them. Great for one or two projects per color and a lot of colors in the pack. I use them on my sewing machine without an adapter, just put it over the spool pin thread and go. They aren't high quality, so not good for projects requiring stronger thread... But good for personal and fun projects. I haven't had issues.

The needle works with the corresponding tip, when I changed mine they would not fit together if I used the wrong size needle and tip, I just used it yesterday the needle may also have a stamping on the brass sleeve of the needle.

Hello, I have used the thread on my Vicking. These are NOT high quality. Some of the colors break easy or split while embroidering. Not all of them, but enough to be annoying. To use I have to set the speed of the machine to the lowest speed and keep a close eye on it.

The 14 are thicker needles, suitable for denim. They can leave wholes in lighter weight cottons. Denim/jeans thread is thicker too. I use 11 for most fabrics and 8-9 for lighter or more fragile fabric (silk, linings etc.) Use 11 for wools, cottons.

I usually use Maxi Lock cone thread. I never like to use the cheapest thread, I was taught that my garment was only as good as the thread I used.

Dear Elsa, the Juki MO-735 5 thread serger uses standard regular household needles. We recommend the brand Schmetz as most dependable and it is best to always use sizes #11/75 or #14/90. Thread to be used with sergers come on cones, usually in 3000 yard and 6000 yard putups. We have had very good luck using serger thread brands of MaxiLock and Venus. Thank you - shopjoya.com

I bought the needle shown (NP4 ). I assume you are looking for a needle for your machine. My suggestion is contact Crosley and ask them what needle you should get. At this point, I have lost my instruction book and have no idea what model I own.

Yes this thread has a beautiful end result in most all embroidery machines.....Keep in mind to purchase a needle for your machine that has a larger Needle eye then most ...the reason for this is to keep the thread from fraying as you are using it.....some decorative threads tend to be softer and more fragile so as they pull with the tension of the machine they can break off eaisier....ask your favorite Fabric shop for the larger eyed needles....they are actually just as sharp they just have a more elongated eye for the thread......Best of luck with your sewing adventures.

Try your local art's and crafts store.(if small is what you want) I also used a 31gauge insulin syringe. And load it yourself ( be careful )

Yes, you must thread it yourself the old fashioned way! I have three sergers, an Elna and two brothers and I have never seen a conventional needle threader on a serger. It's probably because it would be difficult or impossible to make one that would thread two needles next to each other. There are some sergers, (high end Brothers, I think) that claim to thread themselves using some kind of air puff system, or something, but I've never seen one in action and I don't know if even they thread the needles, or just the loopers. This is a very nice serger by the way, and I use it in preference to my higher end Elna all the time.

I'm assuming you are talking about the lower loopers as they are not needles but are below. It is necessary to become acquainted with threading these as it can be very frustrating to have to in the middle of a project when you run out of thread or a thread breaks. It is also imperative to follow precisely or you will have messed up stitches. That said it is possible to thread and becomes second nature when you learn. There are color coded thread guides to follow and you will find it easier by taking off the free arm apparatus to get to the loopers more easily. Use the long tweezers as that is easier than using fingers . Once threaded it is easy to 'pull' new colors through instead of trying to run the machine to change as they can easily break at the knot. Tie the new color to the old and loosen the tension and just pull gently through. You will have to thread the needles and use the long tweezers makes that a breeze. Hope this helps; but practise practise practise and you will be an expert in no time and using a serger will be as effortless as your sewing machine~!

I depends on what you are making, I use tiny seed beads #11, you can use any size bead you have to thread the loom skipping some spaces for larger beads.

Each manufacturer is different. The cylinders are also different. You must purchase the cylinder size listed by the manufacturer or the thread size will not fit.
