BERNINA
Overlocker Workbook 1
Fabric:
Firm fabric, 6" x 6"
Needle:
80/12 Universal
Thread:
3 cones of overlocker thread (blue, red, yellow)
Presser Foot:
Standard
Stitch:
3-thread flatlock (wide)
Using the small screwdriver and brush/needle insertion tool,
remove the right needle. Snug the needle set screw after
removing the needle.
Thread overlocker for a wide 3-thread flatlock. Adjust all thread
tension settings as indicated below. Note: Sample was stitched
with regular thread but a heavy thread such as YLI Jeans Stitch
or Designer 6 can be used in the looper for a more decorative
look. When working with heavy decorative threads, loosen the
upper looper tension and lengthen the stitch length as needed
for the desired look.
Fold the fabric in half, wrong sides together, to 3" x 6".
Optional: Attach the Right Seam Guide to the overlocker (700D
and 800DL will require the Attachment Base). Move the Right
Seam Guide halfway between the needle and the stitch finger.
Place the fold under the presser foot. Guide the fabric halfway
Between the left needle and the right edge of the stitch finger
(or against the Right Seam Guide).
Slowly stitch the fabric. The looper threads will extend beyond the
fabric on the right side of fold. Decorative Thread Tip: To avoid
uneven stitches, tangled threads, hiccups, and other imperfec-
tions, always overlock slowly when working with decorative
threads.
Gently pull the fabric flat.
Return stitch length
and thread tension
levers to their normal
settings.
Optional: For a narrow
flatlock stitch, reset the
overlocker using the right
needle
