v Rolled edge sewing
The rolled edge stitch is appropriate for light
weight fabrics such as lawn, voile, organdy,
crepe, etc. The rolled edge is achieved by
adjusting the thread tension to make the fabric
edge roll under the fabric while overlocking.
Adjust the thread tension to change the
degree of rolling. To sew rolled edge you
need to set the stitch finger lever to "R".
Tip: For a beautiful rolled edge, thread the
upper looper with a decorative thread and
the needle and lower looper with lightweight
regular thread.
