It is reasonably easy to thread. No assistance should be needed to use it, but leave it threaded when finished. There is a way to spin the under-bobbin using the motor.

It can go through ticker material such as velcro, webbing and potentially thinner leather.

'''Please seek assistance on the Google Group if you do not know how to operate this machine.''' Training is not mandatory but is recommended. Rethreading this takes an awful long time.
This is a 4 threads domestic overlocker


This is a Willcox & Gibbs 500-4 Type 516-4-38. There is a manual available in the draw - this should be photocopied later. The type number relates to how to thread it which is in the manual. There are some coloured guides on the machine in paint - not yet fully accurate but certainly "good enough".

The thread is setup with 5 bobbins. These can be easily re-threaded between black or white or whatever you bring if you tie on the new thread and pull the old one through.

Then when finished keep the motor going to get a good amount of threaded material to cut. '''DO NOT PULL IT THROUGH, UNLIKE THE SEWING MACHINE THIS WILL CAUSE IT TO SNAP THREADS AND WILL REQUIRE RETHREADING.'''
