SEWING 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. See Getting Ready to Sew, page 7, for references on how to set your machine. Stitch Overview The settings shown in the table below are our recommendations based on normal conditions. -

Page 24: Corded Overlock

Page 25: Rolled Edge Sewing
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. -
Page 26: Flatlock Sewing
Flatlock Sewing A Flatlock (A) is made by adjusting the tension of the 3-thread overlock stitch, sewing the seam and pulling the fabrics apart to flatten the seam. The tensions must be adjusted correctly for the fabric to pull flat properly. A Flatlock can be used both as a decorative construction stitch, sewing two pieces together (Standard Flatlock), or for decoration only on one piece of fabric (Decorative Flatlock). -
Page 27: Replacing The Lower Cutter
MACHINE MAINTENANCE An overlock requires more frequent maintenance than a conventional sewing machine for two reasons: • A lot of lint is produced when the cutters are cutting the fabric. • An overlock runs at a very high speed and needs to be oiled frequently to lubricate the internal working parts. -
Page 28: Replacing The Upper Cutter
Replacing the Upper Cutter Turn off the main power switch and unplug the machine. The upper cutter should be changed when it becomes blunt. Change it by following the below instructions. If you are having any difficulties, consult your service agent to make the necessary adjustments. - Page 29 Possible Cause: Needle may not be the correct size for the fabric being sewn. Solution: Use a needle size that is compatible for the fabric (page 7). Thread Breaks Possible Cause: Machine may not be threaded correctly; threads threaded in the incorrect sequence. Solution: Check that machine is threaded in correct order (page 7).

Questions and answers
Using two tread canot get the machine to sew
The Singer S0230 sewing machine is a serger, which is designed to use 3 or 4 threads for stitching. The product description mentions that it allows for 2-thread, 3-thread, or 4-thread stitching, but if it is not sewing with only two threads, it may require specific adjustments. Checking the threading instructions, tension settings, and ensuring the correct stitch type is selected may help resolve the issue.

What is the setting of tensions when purchasing a Singer S0230? Also is the higher the number the stronger the tension?
The tension settings for the Singer S0230 are adjustable for the upper and lower looper threads. If the upper looper thread is too loose, its tension should be increased, or the lower looper tension should be decreased. If the upper looper thread is too tight, its tension should be decreased, or the lower looper tension should be increased. Similarly, if the lower looper thread is too loose, its tension should be increased, or the upper looper tension should be decreased. A higher number on the tension settings indicates stronger tension.
