3-Thread Reversed Wave Stitch - Baby Lock Ovation BLES8 Instruction And Reference Manual

3-Thread Reversed Wave Stitch

You can also get the wave stitch in the back of fabric by crossing the upper and lower looper
threads before the threading ports. This Reversed Wave Stitch is attractive for an expressive
stitch with decorative cover stitches. (fig. A)
1. Move the Wave/Overlock Selector lever from "OVERLOCK" to
"WAVE".
2. Cut the threads from the thread cones, raise presser foot and
remove threads from the thread paths.
3. Engage the threading lever in threading position, for threading the
loopers. (see page 19)
4. Place the thread cone on the OVERLOCK NEEDLE 2 spool pin.
5. Guide the thread through the telescopic thread guide "O-2" directly
above the thread. Follow the "OVERLOCK NEEDLES 1" thread-
ing path down to the "O-2" overlock needle.
6. Thread the O-2 needle using the needle threader. (see page 24)
7. Place the thread cone on the UPPER LOOPER spool pin.
8. Guide the thread through the telescopic antennae thread guide "UL" directly above the thread.
Follow the "OVERLOCK NEEDLES 2" threading path for the UPPER LOOPER thread, down
the front threading path, to the right of the chrome thread guide, and directly to the "L" thread-
ing port for the lower looper. Thread the lower looper. (see page 20)
Note: This upper looper thread which goes into lower looper through "L" threading port appears
as wave stitch on the back side of fabric.
9. Place the thread cone on the LOWER LOOPER spool pin.
10. Thread lower looper using standard lower looper threading technique. (Refer to Steps 2 - 6 on
page 20) The only difference regarding standard threading is you use the "U" threading port
instead of the "L" port.
11. Place the "O-2" needle thread and the lower looper thread from the eye of the upper looper
under the presser foot and to the back.
12. Engage the threading lever in the serging position.
13. Set Stitch Selector on "B" for Wave Stitch.
14. Set Stitch Length and Stitch Width following the illustration below.
Note: It is not recommended to use reversed rolled wave.
