Is it easy to thread?

Yes, it very easy to thread. The needle eye faces frontward and you don't have to crane your neck to see the eye. I wear reading glasses but occasionally I don't have them on and an surprised that I can thread the machine without wearing my glasses.

very easy. May need a pair of pliers and a towel the first time, but after that hand tighten and you're good to go.

Yes, it will drive you crazy! It is very difficult to thread!!! I am a professional seamstress and have had many sergers before this one! I sold it to a friend who has worked with these machines before. Go with the one that air threads itself, and you should be fine!

It is, and most home stores sells them. The vast majority of the heads have the same threads, so the process is quite easy. A little thread tape is a good idea but not necessary.

I love the results of the metallic thread but found it difficult to embroider with because it tangles so easily didn't matter whether I use the spindle on the sewing machine or whether I use my separate thread feeder it still twisted so my suggestion would be whatever you dofor feeding, loosen your tension and make sure to keep your design small and simple

Price equals quality. I used this for 1" and it worked. Extra care is needed to make sure the threader is square and that the pressure applied on the handle is direct. I did have it skip a few times when I wasn't being mindfull of that. Threads were fine and the price can't be beat. I wouldn't recommend it for regular use.

Yes....if you are talking about a garden hose sprayer. It is the same thread as a garden hose.

I do not know the thread but I do not recommend this item. It failed completely after a few hours and I have communicated with other Amazon customers with similar problems regarding this item.

Yes, it's easy if you are familiar with following instructions and basic tools. Takes about an hour and everything fits great. Go for it!

Yes it is easy. Should screw right onto your existing male thread in your shower.

The tension knob should simply screw on, it may take a few tries, but if you align it carefully, it will screw on easily. Don't force it as that could damage the threads, gently does it!

Yes, it's easy to clean once you make sure that the person doing it understands what a left-hand thread is. It's also critical to make sure the blade is properly reseated for reassembly.

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 not sure of the threading. It appears to be standard threading for these items as it fits my Lyman Case Prep Center perfectly.

I just got this machine and set it up last night. It was delivered with 4 regular-sized spools of thread with not much thread on the spools. Already threaded. I will tie new threads on to each as suggested and use the hand wheel to advance them through the needles. I was forewarned not to let the thread run out so I don't have to rethread. (Though looking at it, it's clear where the threads go and perhaps it's not that difficult on this machine? Time will tell, I'm sure.) I'm a little worried the delivered spools will run out quickly, so haven't run the serger yet -- will install new spools before trying. Order thread or buy it before the serger is delivered. (Someone on a diff question suggested one site to buy. Hancock's has Maxi-lock on sale these two weeks.) Remember you need 4 spools to run full - that will be 4 white spools at a time, for instance! Even on sale it adds up! I did read that one can even use a bobbin for small jobs; that a bobbin would hold enough thread for perhaps one small tee? There's something called a Bob'n Serge - a little tray with small pins for 5 bobbins that fits on one of the pins. Mixed reviews, found 2 who really love it, some who said why bother. If you're only serging a little, makes sense. I also saw an expert who piggy backs sequential bobbins without cutting the thread between? Lots to explore. HTH.

Yes. You would have to be careful to make sure you were in the threads or you could cut new threads by accident.

No, right hand thread. It went easily onto a normal pipe-thread. To be clear, we are talking about the female end of the Quick connector.
