• Thread the serger for a 4-thread overlock stitch.

• Fine tune the tensions for a balanced overlock stitch (3-5).

Note: If you are using a Wavy Rotary Cutter or Pinking Shears to trim the samples, do all trimming

before beginning to sew this sample.

• Fold the fabric in half to 2" x "6" and place the fabric under the presser foot.

• Take 2-3 stitches on the fabric. Lower the needles into the fabric.

• Raise the presser foot and with your left hand gently pull the thread chain around the needles to

the knife.

• Lower the presser foot and continue serging (cutting off the excess thread chain) until you are one (1)

stitch off the end of the fabric.

• Locate the rolled hem lever on the right side of the cloth plate; pull it towards you, releasing the thread

chain from the stitch finger.

• Raise the presser foot and carefully flip the fabric over so that the lower looper side of the previously

serged seam will be overstitched.

• Place the fabric under the presser foot so that the first stitch will enter the fabric when you begin stitching.

• Slide the rolled hem lever towards the body of the serger.

• Serge for about 1", overstitching the previous stitching. Guide the fabric so as not to cut the previous

stitching. Option: Rotate the upper knife up.

• Raise the toe of the presser foot and rotate the fabric 90° clockwise.

• Serge off the edge of the fabric.

• If the upper knife is up, rotate it down into the cutting position.

• Trim and mount the sample
