Serger help

[meg8]

What is the best/easiest way to make sure the thread doesn't come loose after you're done sewing? Right now I'm trying to tread it back in the stitches, but it's just causing a lot of frustration and cussing. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I stitch to one stitch off the fabric, than pull the fabric a little to get it off the finger. Than I flip the fabric over serge back over what I just did for an inch or so and than serge off of the fabric. Thats for the end. For the beginning, I stich a few stitches, than raise the foot, pull the tail of thread free, lay it over my stitches, and stitch right over it to encase it in the stitching.

I use a blunt tipped needle with a large eye and thread the tail back through the stitches

I usually separate the needle threads from the loopers  in the tail and knot them together a few times

Are they the long ones or the short ones when they unravel?

I believe the needle threads are the long, But i try to get all four threads and knot them. Usually two threads at a time. I grab two threads and double knot them. Then grab the other two and double knot them.

Sometimes I'm only able to get the needle threads out, If thats the case I just pull them tightly them double knot.
