Overlockers & Coverstitchers / Overlocker l/h needle thread problem
« on: October 02, 2017, 16:39:26 PM »
I have a Brother 1034D which has previously worked fine (4 thread, 2 needle). I recently tried some stitch/seam variations as detailed in the manual, some of which meant I only needed one of the 2 needles threaded.

Having re-threaded I now find that the left-hand needle thread sometimes slips from behind the thread guide above the needles and round to the left. When this happens the thread simply creates a long loop along the fabric instead of stitches through the fabric.

I have checked the tension and re-threaded carefully twice.

Has anyone got any suggestions of how to cure this? Might it be worth changing the needles?
