Chain stitch sewing test and fine tuning
After threading check that the stitch selection dial is on
position G. Test sew.
Starting to sew:
Raise the presser foot and place a double layer of fabric
under the presser foot and needle. Lower the presser foot. To
make the first stitch, turn the handwheel towards you to
check the position of the needle. Sew. When sewing is
interrupted, the needle stops in the fabric. Continue sewing
at the end of the seam, pull out the material slightly to the
left to form a chain.
Remove the work carefully to the left.
Cutting the thread chain (thread cutter).

Fine tuning chain stitch
Compare your result with the stitch formation on the
threading diagram in the looper cover.
The needle thread forms a straight line on the upper side of
the fabric.
It appears as dots on the underside of the fabric.
The looper thread forms a chain on the underside of the
fabric to give a durable seam.
Incorrect stitch formation can be corrected by fine tuning.
To increase the tension push the fine tuning lever up.
To reduce the tension push the fine tuning lever down.

Tip: When using decorative threads, attach the deco guide
over the looper threading path.
Do not thread the first machine guide but take the thread
directly through the deco guide.
Note:
If using needle system JLx2, reduce the needle thread
tensions slightly.
