With the needle and upper looper threads under the foot and to
the back, lower the presser foot. While holding the threads in your
left hand, press down on the foot controller gently to begin a
thread chain before serging fabric (fig.A).
You can leave the presser foot down for most serging applications.
Just place the fabric at the toe of the presser foot. As you step on
the foot controller, the feed dogs will begin moving the fabric
toward the needle (fig.B). You need to raise and lower the foot
only when working with thick, spongy or lofty fabrics, or when
precise positioning is required.
Be careful not to push or pull the fabric. The Imagine Wave will
feed it evenly without help. At the end of a seam, just sew off the
fabric edge and continue serging to create 5" - 6" thread chain.
Cut the thread chain with the thread cutter on the left side cover
(fig.C).
As you sew, you will discover that maneuvering the fabric is differ-
ent from conventional sewing because the threads form around the
stitch fingers (fig. A).
To clear the stitch fingers, simply raise the presser foot, which
releases all threads. Raise the needle(s). Then pull the threads
gently from behind the foot (fig. B). The stitches are now released
from the fingers (fig. C).
