Manual For Pfaff 787-788 Threading Machine
Page 7 of the above manual which is a copy that came with my used machine indicates to thread the *right looper one should follow the *(yellow) indicators and should be threaded first. On page 8 continuing instructions for threading the *right looper indicates (2nd paragraph)pull ...thread through the looper eye *(the thread path is marked red). At top of page 9 note instructions for threading *left looper *(yellow thread path). I am new to serging and order the instructions indicate that the order of threading and correct threading are a must. After noticing this discrepency, I downloaded the manual from your site. My paper copy and the downloaded version are identical. Help. Please clarify.
