Convert the serger from Overlock to Cover Stitch using the directions on
page__ in the Instruction Manual or on the Quick Reference card. Insert the
Left and Right Needles and turn the Stitch Selection Dial to “F”.
Following the instructions on page ___ of your Instruction Manual, thread the
serger for a 3-Thread wide (5mm) Cover Stitch. Use Woolly Nylon in the Looper.
Fold up a 2” hem along the 6” edge of the fabric. Glue stick or pin in place.
Using the markings on the stitch plate as a guide, place the fabric under the
Needles with the fold to the right of the Presser Foot. You are stitching on the
right side of the fabric.
Cover Stitch the hem in place stopping with the Needles in the fabric. There
is no need to stretch the fabric while stitching. The Cover Stitch has a
natural stretch.
Turn the Handwheel away from you to raise the Needles to their highest position.
Lift the Presser Foot and remove the fabric from under the Presser Foot.
