Stitch:

Thread the serger for a 4-thread overlock stitch using thread colors

to match the color-coded threading path on the serger. Adjust all

thread tension settings as indicated below.

Locate the tape guide on the presser foot.

Using the small screwdriver from the accessory pouch, loosen the

fixing screw and slide the tape guide all the way to the left. Snug

the screw.

Slip the twill tape or ribbon into the slot on the presser foot.

Lower the presser foot and sink the needles into the tape or ribbon;

start stitching on the tape only.

Loosen the fixing screw and adjust the tape guide to the width of the

tape or ribbon; pull to the back of the foot. Retighten the screw.

Place the fabric pieces right sides together. Slip the fabric under the

foot and seam along the 6" side, catching the tape or ribbon in the

serged edge.

Remove the fabric from under the presser foot and examine the

seam. It will not stretch; the tape or ribbon has stabilized the seam.
