Start To Sew; To Chain-Off Of The Fabric - Baby Lock Evolution BLE8W-2 Instruction And Reference Manual

Start To Sew

When threading is complete, the loose threads should initially interlock on fabric. This is most important when
sewing the chain or cover stitches.

To Chain-Off of the Fabric

Your Evolution will sew a chain off the edge of the fabric. For best results, we recommend to follow the instruc-
tions below.
Overlock stitches-
1. At the end of the seam, gently pull the fabric and thread to the back to chain-off (fig. A).
2. When the desired length is reached, cut the thread chain with the thread cutter located on the left side cover (fig.
B).
3. Start the seam by placing the fabric under the front of the foot (fig. C).
Chain/Cover stitches-
1. At the end of the seam, change the stitch length to 4 and chain needle tension set at a range from 2 to 0.
2. Let the thread flow from the back of the foot 2-4 inches without pulling.
3. Start the seam by placing the fabric under the front of the foot.
1. Cut all threads to 4 inch (10cm) in length.
2. Place fabric under the presser foot directly below the needles
(fig. A).

3. Lower the presser foot.

7. Start the next seam at the toe of the presser foot (fig. C).
8. You only need to raise and lower the presser foot when working with
thick fabrics or when precise positioning is required.
Note: Be careful not to push or pull the fabric. The Evolution will feed
C
it evenly without help.
