Coverstitch
Following the instructions in your owner’s manual, thread the serger for
cover stitch using thread colors to match the color-coded threading path
on the serger (use blue thread for purple markings).
Center the fabric under the presser foot. Lift the presser foot and place
the fabric completely under the foot.
Turn the handwheel clockwise for the first stitch.
Serge to the end of the fabric.
At the end of the stitching, turn the handwheel counterclockwise until
the needles are at their lowest position. Then turn the handwheel
clockwise until the needles are at their highest position to release the
threads from the looper.
Raise the presser foot and carefully remove the work.
Cut the thread using the thread cutter.
Examine the serger stitch formation and compare it to the stitch graphic
in your owner’s manual. Read the tension adjustment information in
your owner’s manual for information about stitch formation and irregu-
larities. Adjust settings as necessary; stitch a second row of coverstitch.
Trim and mount the sample.
