Seaming Sheers
Lettuce Edge
Belt Loops and Button Loops
Returning to Standard Serging
Use the 3-thread rolled hem setting when sewing sheer fabrics that otherwise would require
French seams. Set the stitch length at 2,5. Then simply sew the seams, aligning the fabric edges
with the serger seam guide, trimming away the excess seam allowance.
A frilly or "lettuce" edge can be created on most
light and medium weight stretch fabrics and on
bias edges of soft, woven fabrics. It makes a
pretty decorative edging for activewear, lingerie,
accessories and children's wear.
Set the machine for the 2-thread or the 3-thread
rolled edge. (refer to page 24, 30)
Set differential feed at 0,6. (fig. B) Serge the
fabric in the direction of greatest stretch - the
crossgrain on knits, bias grain on wovens. For
a "leafier" effect, try using a shorter stitch length
and gently stretch the fabric (fig. A), as it is being
sewn. Sew a test sample. (fig. C)
Use the rolled edge thread chain, stitched without
fabric, to make professional belt loops and button loops.
Using a heavy decorative thread in the upper looper
forms a stronger loop.
Clear the stitch fingers and return the stitch length dial to the standard range. Set stitch width
and length at the desired settings. Readjust tensions. Replace the left needle and its corre-
sponding thread, if desired. To return to standard serging from the 2-thread rolled edge, also re-
move the subsidiary looper from the upper looper and replace its correspondinfg thread.
