Chain Stitch Seam
Following the instructions in your owner’s manual, thread the serger for
chain stitch using thread colors to match the color-coded threading path
on the serger (use blue thread for purple markings).
With right sides together, place the fabric under the needles. Align the
raw edges with the
5
/8” mark on the stitch plate.
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 needle is at its lowest position. Then turn the handwheel clockwise
until the needle is at its highest position to release the thread from the
looper.
Following the instructions in your owner’s manual, 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 the stitch formation and
correcting any stitch irregularities. Make any necessary tension adjust-
ments and serge another row of stitching.
Trim and mount the sample.
