Stitch chart

On your overlock machine, different stitches are obtained by combining different needle
positions, threading methods, tension settings, and the use of the 2-thread overlock converter.
v Stitch overview
The settings shown in the table below are our recommendations based on normal conditions. It
may be necessary to adjust the thread tension depending on the stitch, type of fabric and thread
you are using. For best results make tension adjustments in small increments of no greater
than half a number at a time. Always test sew on a sample of your fabric before sewing on your
project.
In the table below, different fabric weights and types are explained. For you to better understand
how the stitches are formed, each of the threads are displayed in different shades of grey.
