Set the serger for a narrow 3-thread overlock stitch (right needle). Adjust
settings as indicated for a balanced stitch.
Adjust stitch length to 1.5mm.
Serge a thread chain several inches longer than the fabric.
Fold the fabric, right sides together, to 1" x 6" encasing the thread chain
against the fold.

After stitching the tube, gently pull on the thread chain and turn the tube
right side out.
Mount the sample.
