Securing the Thread Chain

Tie a Knot (A)
To avoid the thread chain from ravelling, separate and tie
the thread ends together.
Use a Sewing Needle (B)
1. Thread the chain into a large eyed, hand sewing needle.
2. Insert the needle into the end of the seam and pull the
chain into the seam to secure the threads.
Use the Machine at the Start of a Seam (C)
1. Before placing the fabric in the machine, sew a thread
chain approximately 2"-3" (5-8cm) long.
2. Place your fabric in front of the presser foot. Sew a few
stitches and stop.
3. Raise the presser foot and bring the thread chain to the
left around and under the presser foot.
4. Place the thread chain between the presser foot and up-
per knife, holding it in position as you lower the presser
foot to sew.
5. After sewing approximately 1˝ (2.5 cm), move the chain
to the right and under the upper knife, cutting the chain
as you sew.
Use the Machine at the End of a Seam (D)
1. Serge one stitch off the end of the seam.
2. Raise the needle and presser foot, and gently pull the
threads off the stitch finger.
3. Turn the fabric over so that the under side is up.
4. Serge approximately 1˝ (2.5cm) over the stitching and
angle off the fabric.
