Gathering

Using the differential feed, a single layer of fabric can be gathered before sew-
ing it to the garment.
For example, sleeve heads and lower edges, yokes, lace edging or frills.
Adjustment:
• Stitch: 4-thread overlock
• Differential feed: 2
• Stitch length: 3-4
• Cutting width: 2-3
Increase the needle thread tension (6-8) for a tighter gather.

Roll hemming

• Turn the handwheel towards you until the needles are fully raised.
• For roll hemming, move the overlocking width changeover knob upward and
check that the overlocking claw retracts. (C).
• For standard overlocking, move the overlocking width changeover knob
downward and check that the overlocking claw projects. (D).
The roll hemmer is fully integrated in the machine. The edge of the fabric will
be automatically rolled over, producing a very narrow, fine seam or hem.
Roll hemming is ideal for finishing edges on all fine fabrics, such as evening
clothes, lingerie, scarves, frills and also for curtains and napkins.
