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.
Note: The Presser Foot Pressure of the machine is pre-
adjusted at the factory to suit the sewing of medium weight
fabrics. Most fabrics do not require adjustment of the
Presser Foot Pressure.
However, there are some instances where adjustment is
necessary, such as when sewing light weight or heavy
weight fabrics.
1.
With presser foot pressure set to "L", sew two layers of
fleece together along the 6" side.
2.
Adjust presser foot pressure to "H" and sew the
remaining layer of fleece to the other 6" side of the
fabric used in previous step.
3.
Determine which presser foot pressure setting resulted
in more even feeding of the material through the
machine.
4.
Return the presser foot pressure to the normal setting.
