4.2 Selecting the Fabric

The choice of fabric, in combination with needle, thread and stitch, plays a vital role in achieving the perfect
sewing result. The sewing test with the selected fabric is recommended. (see page 92)

4.3 Selecting the thread

A wide range of sewing and special overlock threads are manufactured in various sizes and in different fiber
combinations.
• The use of high quality overlock thread is recommended to achieve good results.
• Use thread cones/spools which are suitable for overlock machines.
Thread breakage due to incorrect needle/thread or thread/looper matching
NOTICE
The thread needs to glide smoothly through the respective thread guides.
It must be possible to feed the thread through the looper or the needle eye without any resistance.
Thread thick decorative threads exclusively into the loopers, use the air threader circumvention if necessary.
In the case of thick threads, elongate the stitch length and reduce the thread tension.
