A serger must be thread in a specific order every time. Lower Looper first, followed by Upper Looper, Left Needle and lastly Right Needle.
If your thread should break during operation, rethreading MUST BE done sequentially, and yes, this means you must unthread it to rethread it.
The thread path you follow for each looper and needle is usually shown on the inside door of your serger. If not, it's in the owner's manual.
When changing threads, many people tie on the new thread to the old to avoid unthreading and rethreading.

∙ 11y agoSergers typically have 4 threads:
- Upper looper
- Lower looper
- Right needle
- Left needle
Even if a serger is a 4-thread machine, you can still use 3 threads by using only 1 needle. This is recommended for specific stitches, such as a rolled hem, where you only use the right needle.

What year was White superlock 534 serger model 534W-A manufactured?
It was during the 1980's I am certain. I got my Master's degree in fashion design. The only sergers that were available at that time for the home-sew market was a homely little serger made by Babylock. People that had them liked them. None of my fellow grads students had one, but we were all interested. The first serger that I bought was a White 534 in 1987. (I still have the receipt and I still have the serger. It works great!) I remember that it had been out a little while before that. I can't remember how long. It was listed as the best serger on the market in consumer reports for something like 15-20 years. The 534 was the first easy to thread serger for the home market and was definitely that top serger of its time. Mine will not stop. It is amazing!

What is a serger machine?
A serger is a sewing machine that sews and cuts the fabric at the same time. This makes for a neater seam. It is used a lot in professional sewing. Check out the inside seam on most store bought clothes and you will see that there is no extra fabric on the seam.A serger machine is used to trim the edge of a fabric, and then enclose the seam allowance or edge of the fabric inside a thread casing, all in one step. This "finishes" the edge, preventing a woven fabric from fraying. There are various options that each brand of serger offers, including, but not limited to:rolled hemgathering for ruffleschain stitchcover stitch

Are built-in needle threaders beneficial?
They can be, but I don't think that they are necessary. Needles usually thread from front to back, so I find that it is just as quick to do it by myself. If the auto-threader doesn't line up perfectly, it can be more trouble than it is worth on a sewing machine. However, if you are looking at a serger with built-in threaders I would say to go for it! Some loopers are very hard to thread. Kate
