Thread ...............................................................4 cones of serger thread
......................................................................... (yellow, red, green, blue)

Thread the serger for a 4-thread overlock stitch.
With right sides together, seam the fabric into a tube along the 3" side.
Press the seam to one side. (The upper looper thread is the right side
of the seam.)
On one 12" side of the tube, cut away a 2" x ¼" section of fabric.
Lower the presser foot and serge around the tube, cutting off ¼".
Stop serging when the knife enters the cutout; rotate the knife up.
Continue serging to complete the circle, overlapping the previous
stitching by 1".
Raise the presser foot and rotate the fabric clockwise.
Lower the presser foot and serge off the edge of the fabric.
Return the knife to the normal cutting position.
Trim and mount the sample.
