6.5 Setting the rolled hem selection lever «O/R»
The adjustment positions for overlocking «O» and rolled hems «R» are marked in the stitch plate and can be
set for the desired application.
Overlocking «O»
During overlocking, the upper and lower looper threads are laid around the stitch finger and this creates an
even distance to the cut edge.
> Move the rolled hem selection lever to position «O».
O
– Overlocking is activated.
– The stitch finger is extended.
If the thread quantity at the fabric edge is too much or too little, the thread quantity can be corrected by the
mtc thread control. (see page 82)
Rolled hem «R»
By retracting the stitch finger, the loops of the upper and lower loopers thread are reduced and the fabric
edge is rolled under. Rolled hems are the ideal edge finishing for fine fabrics. These are particularly suitable
for decorative finishings on scarves, evening gowns, lingerie, home textiles and as lining seams.
> Move the rolled hem selection lever to position «R».
R
– The rolled hem is activated.
– The stitch finger is retracted.
