the stitch formation and the thread tension.
Cover stitch sewing test
・ Plug the machine in and switch it on (power switch to "I").
・ Set the tensions to 3-5.
・ Set the stitch length to 3.
・ Set the differential feed to N.
・ Raise the presser foot and place the fabric under foot and needles (A).
・ Lower the presser foot.
・ Turn the handwheel counterclockwise for the first stitch.

position. This releases the needle threads from the looper and stitching
can unravel easily.
・ Raise the presser foot.
・ Remove the work carefully towards the left.
