Seaming Knit Fabrics:
Presser Foot Tape Guide
Thread the serger for a 4-thread overlock stitch. Adjust tension settings
for a balanced 4-thread overlock.
Locate the tape guide on the presser foot.
Using the small screwdriver from the accessory pouch, loosen the fixing
screw and slide the tape guide all the way to the left. Snug the screw.
Slip the twill tape or ribbon into the slot on the presser foot.
Lower the presser foot and lower the needles into the tape or ribbon.
Loosen the fixing screw and adjust the tape guide to the width of the
tape or ribbon. Retighten the screw.
Seam the jersey together along the 6” side, catching the tape or ribbon
in the serged edge.
Remove the fabric from under the presser foot and examine the seam.
It will not stretch. The tape or ribbon has stabilized the seam.
Trim and mount the sample.
