With the overlocker still threaded for a 4-thread overlock
stitch and using thread colors to match the color-coded
threading path on the machine, adjust all thread tension
settings as indicated in the chart below or as previously
determined.
1.
Place the tricot pieces right sides together. With
the differential set at 1 (normal), stitch along the 6"
side of the soft fabric together along one 6” edge,
trimming about 1/4" off the edge. When sewing on
very lightweight fabric, you may notice that you have a
puckered edge.
2.
To correct this, adjust the Differential Feed to 0.6. Sew
along the other 6” edge, trimming about 1/4" from the
edge of the fabric.
3.
Mark the differential settings on the fabric sample.
4.
Return Differential Feed Dial to its normal setting of 1.
