About a week and a half ago I found this industrial serger on Craig's list. And then I drove out to Stone Mountain and I bought it. It is a Yamata FY575A. And I am once again in over my head. But I am not yet panicking. Today is the first time I have tried to get it set up and running. So I managed to get it put back together and the motor is running. And I think all is well. But I cannot for the life of me get the thing threaded.
I finally figured out how to get the door on the front open so that I can start on this crazy project. I made one attempt to thread it. And well... it never caught all the threads on the stitch finger and the thread broke. But at this point I am calling it a learning curve and taking a break. At least I made some progress in that it is up and running.
It needs a tune up and a cleaning so I am hoping that the guy that comes out here to do that will show me how to thread it. Or I will figure it out some way some how.
Anyone know how to thread this thing? Or have any good info?

Yamata was my seamstress grandmother's chosen sewing machine brand for many years... I had no idea it was still around!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great machine now that I have figured it out. But the instructions are terrible!
ReplyDeleteI just got this machine and the chain that connect the foot lift with the machine is missing :(

ReplyDeleteThat's a bummer, but I bet an easy fix. It's really just a piece of chain
