Select Blindstitch (SW 4mm;
leave SL at default setting).
Engage Vertical (Left/Right)
Mirror Image function if avail-
able.
Alternative: Select the overlock
stitch (SW 4mm, SL 3.5 mm).
Note: The longer the stitch
length, the larger the shells.
Pull on the fabric a bit to see which way the edge curls. Be sure to
hem "with the curl" rather than against it.
Place the Aqua Film under the edge of the hem, extending about
2" beyond the back edge of the fabric; baste layers together along
the back edge.
Twirl the stabilizer into the scroll of the hemmer foot – the Aqua
Film is stiff enough to easily move into the coil. Begin stitching,
using the Aqua Film to guide the fabric edge into
the coil of the foot.
If necessary, increase/tighten the needle thread tension to create
more defined scallops. Remember to return to normal setting after
completing this sample.
Trim and mount the sample.
