_____
•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
Right Needle and turn the Stitch Selection Dial to “G”.
•Set Stitch Length at 3.
•Following the instructions on page ___ of your Instruction Manual, thread the
serger for a Chain Stitch threading the 3 Isacord thread colors through the
thread guide for the chain stitch (Lower) Looper on the Thread Guide Support.
Thread all three Isacord threads together through the Chain Stitch (Lower)
Looper Tension Disks and the Chain Stitch (Lower) Looper Thread Guides. Use
a floss threader to thread the 3-Threads through the Eye of the Looper.
•Slightly loosen (down) the tension on the Chain Stitch Looper.
•With stabilizer on top and the right side of the fabric against the Stitch
Plate place the fabric under the Needle and lower the Presser Foot. (You will
