Lettuce Edge
Belt Loops and Button Loops
Returning to Standard Serging
A

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. Replace the left needle and its corresponding thread, if desired.
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 3-thread rolled edge.
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 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.
