If Threads Break During Sewing; To Sew Fine Materials; Narrow Overlock/ Rolled Hemming Stitch - Brother 3034D Manual De Instrucciones

If threads break during sewing

Remove the material and re-thread in the correct
order, Lower looper, Upper looper, right needle
and then the left needle (to re-thread, see
CHAPTER 3 "Threading"). Replace the material
under the presser foot and sew 3-5 cm (1-1/8 to 2
inches) over the previous stitches.
CAUTION
Do not leave straight pins in the fabric when
sewing as they will damage the needles and
knives.

To sew fine materials

1. Adjust the presser foot pressure to prevent the
material from puckering and to allow sewing of
curves. (See CHAPTER 1 "Adjusting the
presser foot pressure".)
2. Loosen the thread tension, but remember that
if the tension is too loose, the thread may
break and stitches may be skipped.

Narrow overlock/ Rolled hemming stitch

The Narrow overlock/Rolled hemming stitch is a
decorative finish for lightweight to midweight
fabrics. It is often used to complete the edge of a
fabric. This stitch is sewn by removing the left
needle and using the 3-thread overlock stitch.
