Tips and Tricks

FABRIC:

Medium weight cotton 4” X 6”

NEEDLES:

80/12 Universal

THREAD:

4 cones of serger thread

PRESSER FOOT:

Standard

 

 

•Turn the Stitch Selection Dial to “A” on the Stitch Selection Panel.

•Thread the serger for a 4-thread Overlock stitch.

Note – If you are using a Wavy Rotary Cutter or pinking shears to trim the samples, do all trimming before beginning to sew this sample.

•Fold the fabric in half to 2” X “6” and place the fabric under the Presser Foot.

•Take 2-3 stitches on the fabric.

•Locate the Needle Stop Button on the front of the serger (left side).

•Press the Needle Stop Button to lower the Needles into the fabric.

•Raise the Presser Foot and with your left hand gently pull the Thread Chain around the Needles to the Knife.

•Lower the Presser Foot and continue serging (cutting off the excess Thread Chain) until you are one (1) stitch off the end of the fabric.

•Locate the Rolled Hem Selection Lever on the right side of the cloth plate.

•Pull the Rolled Hem Selection Lever towards you, releasing the Thread Chain from the stitch finger.

•Raise the Presser Foot and carefully flip the fabric over so that the Lower Looper side of the previously serged seam will be overstitched.

•Place the fabric under the Presser Foot so that the first stitch will enter the fabric when you begin stitching.

•Slide the Rolled Hem Selection Lever towards the body of the serger.

•Serge for about 1”, overstitching the previous stitching. Guide the fabric so as not to cut

the previous stitching. Option - Rotate the Upper Knife up.

•Raise the Toe of the Presser Foot and rotate the fabric 90° clockwise.

•Serge off the edge of the fabric.

•If the Knife is up, rotate the Upper Knife down into the Cutting Position.

•Mount the sample.
