Copy the threading diagram from the book:. 1. Blow diagram up to full page size on the copy machine. 2.Make as many copies as the # of threads you are going to use (3 threads=3 copies, 5 threads=5 copies etc.) 3.Buy as many colors of magic marker as the number of threads you are using. (Or borrow from your kids, the neighbors or use crayons) 4.On copy #1, using the original threading diagram, use one color of magic marker to follow the thread through its patch from the thread cone to the needle. 5.Do the same with each of the other copies: Copy #2=thread #2, Copy #3=thread #3, etc. 6.Now you should have a page for each thread as it comes off the cone. 7.Use a thread color that corresponds to the magic marker color on your page to make it clearer. After it is threaded properly, you can tie the color you plan to use and pull them through.
By using different color threads, and a good light, it is easier to see if you have missed a place or crossed a couple thread improperly.
If all else fails, try to find someone else who knows how to do it to thread it for you, then take a couple close up pictures of the inside of the machine with it threaded properly, take them to the photo shop and have a copy made to keep with your machine to refer to in the future. Good Luck! Sergers are their own nightmare to thread but once you get it down, you will be fine and love it. Juki is one of the easiest of the bunch. If you have a pair of tweezers and a couple threading wires, it sometimes helps!
