I had this problem and the company that repaired it said it was because, in error ,I had pushed the Selection Lever forward into the Roll Hemming position. My Manual refers to that lever on page 26.

i do hope this helps

You have to start from scratch and re thread the overlocker again in sequence ...you cannot just re thread the one broken thread or this will continue to happen.

This was my first lesson with this overlocker.
