Rolled Edge Sewing; 2-Thread Rolled Edge (A); 3-Thread Rolled Edge (B) / Narrow Edge (C) - Singer S14-88 Instruction Manual

Rolled Edge Sewing

The rolled edge stitch is appropriate for light weight fabrics such
as lawn, voile, organdy, crepe, etc. The rolled edge is achieved
by adjusting the thread tension to make the fabric edge roll under
the fabric while overlocking. Adjust the thread tension to change
the degree of rolling. To sew rolled edge you need to set the stitch
finger lever to "R".
Tip: For a beautiful rolled edge, thread the upper looper with a
decorative thread and the needle and lower looper with
lightweight regular thread
2–Thread Rolled Edge (A)
1. Attach the 2-thread overlock converter (see page 6).
2. Use the right needle thread and lower looper thread.
3. Move the stitch finger lever to "R".
4. Set the stitch length dial to "1" for a fine seam.
5. Set the thread tension according to the stitch table on page
18.
6. Make a thread chain and test sew on a sample of your fabric
before sewing on your project. Hold the thread chain while
beginning to sew to keep it from curling into the seam.

A variant of the rolled edge stitch (B) is the narrow edge (C). It can
be obtained by adjusting the thread tension according to "3–
Thread Rolled Edge" (page 17) and/or "3–Thread Narrow
Edge" (page 16).

threads.
