I'm sewing downstairs and got both the overlocker and coverstitch with me.  The thread ran out of the overlocker on the lower looper, not a problem, normally.

My tweezers were upstairs (kitty using the bedroom and asleep) so was using eyebrow tweezers.  I couldn't thread the needle, I was hot  (kept feeling water hitting me), DH asked to help, lasted five minutes before he got tetchy because he couldn't do it.  When I got there, that thread broke, a first and second time.  I left it, a little later when it  did get cooler I tried again.  At which point I realised both needle threads  hadn't been pulled out of the way and I was threading the looper the same way as I did my old Janome overlocker, Bernina is the opposite way round, lower looper goes on top. :fish:

I can't remember the last time I oiled it either.
