Installing and removing the looper cover
The looper cover is installed, for example, when sewing 2-thread overlock
seams. Take note of the following:
•
The looper cover is always installed on the rear upper hook (1st
t
hread
path - RED).
•
Before installing the looper cover, the thread must be removed from the
1st
t
hread path (RED) completely.
•
Sewing with the looper cover has the advantage of
using up
less
thread.
