Use the Machine at the Start of a Seam
1. Before placing the fabric in the machine, sew a thread
chain approximately 2"-3" (5-8cm) long.
Place your fabric in front of the presser foot. Sew a few
stitches and stop.
2. Raise the presser foot and bring the thread chain to the
left around and under the presser foot.
Place the thread chain between the presser foot and
upper knife, holding it in position as you lower the
presser foot to sew.
3. After sewing approximately 1˝ (2.5 cm), move the chain
to the right and under the upper knife, cutting the chain
as you sew.
Use the Machine at the End of a Seam
1. Serge one stitch off the end of the seam.
Raise the needle and presser foot, and gently pull the
threads off the stitch finger.
2. Turn the fabric over so that the under side is up.
3. Serge approximately 1˝(2.5cm) over the stitching and
angle off the fabric.
Note: Not for Coverstitch, see page 48.
Cutting the Seams Open
Cut the upper looper thread with a seam ripper (not included
with the machine) to cut the seams.
