CORDED OVERLOCK
Corded overlock can be used to strengthen shoulder,
sleeve or side seams when joining or making up
knitted garments. As a decorative feature you can use
knitting yarn of contrasting colours to further enhance
your garment. Your machine is equipped with a
presser foot which has been designed to feed your
cord or yarn to the left of the safety stitch or to the
right. Follow instructions as follows:
1. Place a “filler” cord, such as a crochet cotton, gimp,
wool, knitting yarn, or shirring elastic at the rear of
the machine spool pin. Pass the cord through the
cord guides (1) and (2) and then through the left
needle thread guide (3). See Fig. 1.
2. Insert the cord through either the front or rear hole
(according to the operation, see diagrams Figures
2 and 3), in the presser foot and pass it under and
to the rear of the foot.
3. Place the material to be sewn as normal.
Start at slow speed observing if cord is feeding
correctly and increase speed as needed.
FOR JOINING SHOULDERS OR SLEEVES, pass the
cord through the front hole, ensuring that it is fixed
between the left and right needle threads as it is
guided through the front hole. (Fig.2).
FOR JOINING SIDE SEAMS , pass the cord through
the rear hole, ensuring it is positioned to the right
needle thread. (Fig.3)
FOR DECORATIVE EFFECTS, you may pass
contrasting colours either through the front or rear
hole or if you desire, pass cord or yarn through each
hole.
FOR MAKING WAVED HEM WITH GUT (Fig.4), pass
the gut through the rear hole and start ROLLED HEM
(See page 16).
This is used for the hem of skirt, etc.
