CORDED OVERLOCK,

Corded overlock can be used to strengthen
shoulder, sleeve or side seams when joining or
making up knitted garments. As a decorative
feature you can use knitting yarn of contrasting
colours to further enhance your garment. Your
machine is equipped with a presser foot which
has been designed to feed your cord or yarn to
the left of the safety stitch or to the right. Follow
instructions as follows:
1. Snap the detachable cord guide, in your

accessory set onto the thread guide pole
(Fig.1).

2. Place a “filler” cord, such as a crochet cotton,

gimp, wool, knitting yarn, or shirring elastic at
the rear of the machine spool pin. Pass the
cord through the cord guides (1) and (2) and
then through the left needle thread guide (3).
See Fig. 1.

3. Insert the cord through either the front or rear

hole (according to the operation, see
diagrams Figures 2 and 3), in the presser
soot and pass it under and to the rear of the
foot.

4. Place the material to be sewn as normal.

Start at slow speed observing if cord is
feeding correctly and increase speed as
needed.

FOR JOINING SHOULDERS OR SLEEVES, pass the
cord through the front hole, ensuring that it is
fixed between the left and right needle threads as
it is guided through the front hole. (Fig.2).
FOR JOINING SIDE SEAMS , pass the cord through
the rear hole, ensuring it is positioned to the right
needle thread. (Fig.3)
FOR DECORATIVE EFFECTS, you may pass
contrasting colours either through the front or rear
hole or if you desire, pass cord or yarn through
each hole.
FOR MAKING WAVED HEM WITH GUT (Fig.4), pass the
gut through the rear hole and start ROLLED HEM
(See page 16).
This is used for the hem of skirt, etc.
