Rolled edge sewing
The rolled edge stitch is appropriate for light
weight fabrics such as lawn, voile, organdy,
crepe, etc. The rolled edge is achieved by
adjusting the thread tension to make the fabric
edge roll under the fabric while overlocking.
Adjust the thread tension to change the
degree of rolling. To sew rolled edge you
need to set the stitch finger lever to "R".
Tip: For a beautiful rolled edge, thread the
upper looper with a decorative thread and
the needle and lower looper with lightweight
regular thread.
2–Thread rolled edge (A)
- Attach the 2-thread overlock converter.
- Use the right needle thread and lower
looper thread.
- Move the stitch finger lever to "R".
- Set the stitch length dial to "1-1.5" for a
fine seam.
- Set the thread tension according to the
stitch table
- Make a thread chain and test sew on a
sample of your fabric before sewing on
your project. Hold the thread chain while
beginning to sew to keep it from curling
into the seam.
3–Thread rolled edge (B) / narrow edge (C)
A variant of the rolled edge stitch (B) is
the narrow edge (C). It can be obtained by
adjusting the thread tension according to
"3–thread rolled edge" or "3–thread narrow
edge".
- Use the right needle thread and the upper
and lower looper threads.
- Move the stitch finger lever to "R".
- Set the stitch length dial to "1-1.5" for a
fine seam.
- Set the thread tension according to "3–
thread rolled edge" or "3–thread narrow
edge".

sample of your fabric before sewing on
your project. Hold the thread chain while
beginning to sew to keep it from curling
into the seam.
