Use the rolled edge thread chain, stitched without fabric, to
make professional belt loops and button loops. Using a heavy
decorative thread in the upper looper forms a stronger loop.
Clear the stitch fingers and return the stitch length dial to the standard range. Set stitch width and
length at the desired settings. Replace the left needle and its corresponding thread, if desired.
A frilly or "lettuce" edge can be created on most light and
medium weight stretch fabrics and on bias edges of soft,
woven fabrics. It makes a pretty decorative edging for
activewear, lingerie, accessories and children's wear.
Set the machine for the 3-thread rolled edge. (page 30)
Set differential feed at 0.6. (fig. B) Serge the fabric in the
direction of greatest stretch - the crossgrain on knits, bias
grain on wovens. For a "leafier" effect, try using a shorter
stitch length and gently stretch the fabric as it is being sewn.
Sew a test sample. (fig. C)

Use the 3-thread rolled hem setting when sewing sheer fabrics that otherwise would require French
seams. Set the stitch length at 2.5. Then simply sew the seams, aligning the fabric edges with the
serger seam guide, trimming away the excess seam allowance.
