Marylynn, where do you get these? is there a name to ask for? This sounds wonderful - ANYTHING to make the loopers easier - sometimes they just drive me nutso!! (ok, so it's a really short trip :) )

My package says 'G_U_M Floss Threaders'. you can find them at the grocery store, the drug store, big box stores. They are in the dental care section, by the dental floss. Easy to find. I will try and upload a pic over the weekend.

I use these for my teeth and had thought that they would work to thread the serger that is being shipped to me as I type. Thanks for confirming what I thought would make my life easier. Barbara

I like this idea better than buying a very thin wire with a loop at one end from a quilting catalog. Also it wouldn't be so easy to lose. I would get more for my money. It's the Scotch ( not the liquid kind" coming out. Oscar

I just purchased a serger and this is a great idea. In fact I have some of the floss threaders. I probably never would of thought of your idea. Thank You

I have just used regular dental floss....6-8 inch piece folded in half....has worked for years for me. just keep a container of floss w. your sewing "stuff" Thanks Nana Clare

where can I find an instrution manual for an older Kenmore Serger

I spent 2 hrs this a.m. reading manual and trying to work with tweezers that came with my new serger, finally got it threaded, but will definitely use your method next time, right now just excited about what am I gonna serge first, besides the scraps I did, thank you for tip, I appreciate it.

I will try this. I just got a serger and have been sweating out the threading.

You seem to be a lady of Ingenuity - Great idea with the dental floss...Sew.. no pun intended...what is the best way to serger around inside corners? I find this a bit tricky... . Respectfully... Cobblehurst

I will definately try this Technique, I have been frustrated many times, but I have also found using longer tweezers help also, plus I use the tweezers to help me thread my sewing maching it helps keep the thread more stable and is faster than using auto threaders :)

I'm going to buy it then I'll comment on it since it seems to be a very good tip.

wow I need to try this!

I also use this trick, at home and at work. I get my flossers from my kids' stash that they get from the orthodontist but don't use. Straight teeth and easy threading!

You are right, works great!

I've used this , also, and find it to be Heaven-sent! You are absolutely right when you say it is much easier than tweezers! Wonderful tip!
