• Start and end of sewing
–
When starting to sew, pull the thread chain
lightly to the rear of machine until the needle
penetrates the fabric.
–
When starting to sew after threading the
machine, sew 2–3 cm on a scrap fabric and
chain-off to make a chain.
–
At end of sewing, pull the fabric lightly to the
rear of machine and chain-off.
The 2-Thread chainstitch is sewn with 2 threads, one
needle and one looper. Normally, the machine trims
the fabric edge while the seam is being sewn.
However, a chainstitch seam can be placed at a
desired distance from edge of fabric by putting the
knife in a nonworking position, disengaging the upper
looper and installing the chainstitch seam guide
plate.
