Ladder Stitch - Decorative Stitch
Note:
The threading path for the needle thread is different in
this technique. Please refer to the Quick Reference Threa-
ding Guide or the illustration below.
1. Insert a size 90 Top Stitch needle in left needle position
as a heavy decorative thread will be used in the needle.
2. Place the left needle thread on the far left spool pin and
bring the thread through the telescopic thread guide di-
rectly above the spool of thread. Bring the thread through
the top thread guide that is normally used for the upper
looper (3rd from the left), and down the front. Lock the
machine and thread the upper looper threading port. (See
page 15-16 for detailed looper threading instructions.)
3. Unlock the machine to expose the thread. Using your
tweezers, pull the thread out of the tubular looper at the
lower end of the looper tube. (see below illustration) Bring
the thread up to the large thread guide below the face pla-
te and to the left. Bring the thread up and over the take-up
lever slot, down and into the last thread guide above the
left needle.
4. Use Maxi-Lock thread to thread the lower looper the
same as for normal overlock stitching.
5. Slide the subsidiary looper to the right, then rotate it to the left in place on the upper looper.
6. Place the fabric pieces right sides together for the decorative ladder to be on the right side of
the fabric. (This can also be done on the fold as well.)
7. Sew the fabric together and gently pull open revealing the decorative ladder stitching on the
right side of the fabric.
For a decorative ladder stitch, follow the suggested settings and threading illustration below.
