Tips and Tricks
• Turn the Stitch Selection Dial to “A” on the Stitch Selection Panel.
• Thread the serger for a 4-thread Overlock stitch.
Note – If you are using a Wavy Rotary Cutter or pinking shears to trim the samples, do all
trimming before beginning to sew this sample.
• Fold the fabric in half to 2” X “6” and place the fabric under the Presser Foot.
• Take 2-3 stitches on the fabric.
• Locate the Needle Stop Button on the front of the serger (left side).
• Press the Needle Stop Button to lower the Needles into the fabric.
• Raise the Presser Foot and with your left hand gently pull the Thread Chain around the Needles
to the Knife.
• Lower the Presser Foot and continue serging (cutting off the excess Thread Chain) until you are
one (1) stitch off the end of the fabric.
• Locate the Rolled Hem Selection Lever on the right side of the cloth plate.
• Pull the Rolled Hem Selection Lever towards you, releasing the Thread Chain from the stitch
finger.
• Raise the Presser Foot and carefully flip the fabric over so that the Lower Looper side of the
previously serged seam will be overstitched.
• Place the fabric under the Presser Foot so that the first stitch will enter the fabric when you
begin stitching.
• Slide the Rolled Hem Selection Lever towards the body of the serger.
• Serge for about 1”, overstitching the previous stitching. Guide the fabric so as not to cut
the previous stitching. Option - Rotate the Upper Knife up.
• Raise the Toe of the Presser Foot and rotate the fabric 90 ° clockwise.
• Serge off the edge of the fabric.
• If the Knife is up, rotate the Upper Knife down into the Cutting Position.
• Mount the sample.
