Left or right needle positions can be used for 2-thread

See machine threading illustrations on (page 34/35).
1. Open the front cover and blade cover. Cut the upper
looper thread just above the threading port. (fig.A)
2. Raise the presser foot and remove the upper
looper thread and needle thread from the machine.
3. Slide the subsidiary looper to the right direction and
swing it counterclockwise to the left. (fig. B).
Make sure the hooked tip of the subsidiary looper
enters into the upper looper eye. (fig. C)
4. Place the left needle thread on the far left spool pin
(or right needle thread on second from left spool pin)
and bring the thread through the telescopic thread
guide directly above the spool pin of thread. Bring the
thread through the top pretension thread guide that is
normally used for the upper looper (3
rd

down the front. Then take the thread to the left and
thread the machine as you would for the needles in
their normal position. (illustration on page 34/ 35 for
correct threading.)

eye of left or right needle. (page 21 for threading of
needles)

The 2-thread function provides an economical and less bulky means of overedging all fabrics. The
standard 2-thread overlock is the same as a 2-thread flatlock stitch.
When sewn with specialty threads, 2-thread sewing makes decorative seams and edges for
activewear, children's clothing , ruffles, and hemlines.
