Practical Sewing - Overlock
Carrying out hemming and narrow overlocking
The sewing machine incorporates the hemming device to
enable roll hemming and narrow overlocking. The sewing
machine is able to overlock the material edges such as bot-
toms and sleeve cuffs beautifully while automatically folding
them inwardly.
Preparation for hemming
1.
Install the right needle only.
2.
Pull the overlocking width changeover knob toward you to
lower the overlocking claw.
3.
Set the cutting width adjusting dial at the scale mark “2.5
to 3.5”.
4.
When using filament thread or woolly nylon thread, set the
stitch length adjustment dial (stitch length) at “0.7 to 1.5”.
Roll hemming (A)
The roll hemming is the stitch system that laps the material
edge with the upper looper thread.
Narrow overlocking (B)
The narrow overlocking is the overlock stitch system over-
locking width of which is narrower than the standard one.
