Thread the serger for a 3-thread Overlock stitch using the Left Needle.
Turn the Stitch Selection Dial to “A” on the Stitch Display Panel.
Serge one edge of the fabric, stitching off the end of the fabric.
Trim the thread tail.
Continue serging around the square crossing over the previous stitching.
Use a Seam Sealant on the untrimmed thread tails (or use a Tapestry Needle
to weave the thread tail back through the stitching). When the Seam
Sealant is dry, trim the thread tails.

Thread the serger for a 3-thread Overlock stitch using the Left Needle.
Turn the Stitch Selection Dial to “A” on the Stitch Display Panel.
Before serging, trim away the seam allowance (¼”) for about 2” on each corner.
Beginning at one trimmed corner, serge (cutting ¼” as you sew) to the end
of the fabric. Take 1 stitch off the end of the fabric.
Locate the Stitch Selection Lever/Roll Hem on the Stitch Plate and pull
the white lever towards you. This will free the thread from the Stitch Finger.
Lift the Presser Foot and carefully pivot the fabric 90° clockwise.
Return the Stitch Selection Lever/Rolled Hem to normal (away from you).
Place the Needles one stitch into the fabric and lower the Presser Foot.
Continue serging until you are 1 stitch off the next corner.
Repeat the turning procedure and continue serging.
