CORDEDOVERLOCK
Corded
overlock
can
be
used
to
strengthen
shoulder,
sleeve
or
side
seams
when
joining or
making
up
knitted
garments.
As
a
decorative feature
you
can
use
knitting
yarn
of
contrasting
colours
to
further
enhance
your
garment.
Your
machine
is
equipped
with
a
presser
foot
which
has
been
designed
to
feed
your
cord
or yarn
to
the
left
of
the safety
stitch
or
to
the
right.
Follow
instructions
as
follows:
1.
Place
a
“filler”
cord,
such
as
a
crochet
cotton,
gimp,
wool,
knitting
yarn,
or
shirring
elastic
at
the
rear
of
the
machine
spool
pin.
Pass
the
cord
through
the
cord
guides
(1)
and
(2)
and
then
through
the
left
needle
thread
guide
(3).
See
Fig.
1.
2.
Insert
the
cord
through
either
the
front
or
rear
hole
(according
to
the operation,
see
diagrams
Figures
2
and
3),
in
the
presser
foot
and
pass
it
under
and
to
the
rear
of
the
foot.
3.
Place
the
material
to
be
sewn
as
normal.
Start at
slow
speed
observing
if
cord
is
feeding
correctly
and
increase
speed as
needed.
FOR
JOINING
SHOULDERS
OR
SLEEVES,
pass
the
cord
through
the
front
hole,
ensuring
that
it
is
fixed
between
the
left
and
right
needle
threads
as
it
is
guided through
the
front
hole.
(Fig. 2).
FOR
JOINING
SIDE
SEAMS,
pass
the
cord
through the
rear
hole,
ensuring
it
is
positioned
to
the
right
needle
thread.
(Fig.
3).
FOR
DECORATIVE
EFFECTS,
you
may
pass
contrasting
colours
either
through
the
front
or
rear
hole
or
if
you
desire,
pass
cord
or
yarn
through
each
hole.
FOR
MAKING WAVED
HEM
WITH
GUT (Fig. 4),
