HOW TO ROLL HEM
6. HOW TO ROLL HEM
(For roll hemming sewing, use the needle
plate "B"(optional accessory).)
Roll hemming is achieved by adjusting the thread
tensions so that the fabric is overlocked and
folded under to 1.5mm width.
This is ideal for use with thin materials.
Before changing the needle and the needle plate, switch the machine off.
Not doing so could cause an injury.
(1) Remove the left needle.
(2) Change the needle plate for roll hemming.
For roll hemming sewing, use the needle plate
"B". (The needle plate "A" is for normal sewing).
(3) Set the stitch width dial between 4.5 and 5.5
(4) Set the stitch length adjusting lever to 1.
(5) The standard thread tensions are as follows:
Dial G : Needle thread.............4~7 tension.
Dial B : Upper looper thread....4~7 tension.
Dial R : Lower looper thread....5~8 tension.
At the beginning of sewing, gently pull the end
of the thread chain.
For roll hem sewing, pull the material gently
towards the rear of the machine, and you'll get
neater stitches.
