nger lever setting
The stitch
À
nger lever should be set to “S” for all standard
overlock sewing. To sew rolled edge you need to retract the
stitch
À
nger by setting the stitch
À

À
nger, be sure to push the lever as far as it
will go in each direction.
Rolled edge sewing
The rolled edge stitch is appropriate for light weight fabrics
such as lawn, voile, organdy, crepe, etc. The rolled edge is
achieved by adjusting the thread tension to make the fabric
edge roll under the fabric while overlocking. Adjust the thread
tension to change the degree of rolling. To sew rolled edge
you need to set the stitch
À
nger lever to “R”. The minimum
overlock stitch width that can be obtained for rolled edging is
approximately 1.5 mm since the cutting width cannot be set
below 3.5 mm.
A variant of the rolled edge stitch is the narrow edge. It can be
obtained by adjusting the thread tension according to the stitch
table on pages 23-26.
Tip:
For a beautiful rolled edge, thread the upper looper with
a decorative thread and the needle and lower looper with
lightweight regular thread.
