* At the end of the seam
1. Stitch 1 stitch off the end of the seam.
2. Clear the stitch fingers (See page 15).
3. Turn fabric over and reposition under the presser foot with the needle at the seam edge.

Sew 5 – 6 stitches over the previous stitches, being careful not to cut previous stitches, then chain off the
fabric.
8 THREE – THREAD SERGING
Three – thread serger stitching is ideal for seaming and overcastting on fabric when raveling is not a problem
– knits and firm wovens for example.
To convert your serger to wide three – thread stitching (5.7 mm – 7.5 mm) snip the right – hand needle thread
just above the eye. Remove the thread from the yellow color – coded thread guide and remove the right
needle. (Figure 48 ~ 49).
NOTE: Please tighten the right – hand needle clamp screw slightly to prevent the screw from vibrating out.
