KNOWING YOUR MACHINE
Synthetic threads are recommended for ordinary overlocking. Polyester thread, for example, is very useful for different types of
fabric.
NOTE: Keep in mind that the lower and upper loopers will use about twice the amount of thread as the needles. When purchasing thread for sewing,
therefore, especially if it is an special colour, you should buy sufficient for your requirements.
Needle clamp screws
Flat side away from you
Changing the needle
Raise needle bar to its highest point by turning hand wheel towards
you, but leave presser foot down. Loosen needle clamp screw to re-
move the needle, and place new needle with flat side away from you,
into the needle bar as far as it will go, and tighten screw.
