beginning and end of sewing. Secure the thread ends.
Securing thread ends with the overlock machine
1) Securing thread ends at the beginning of sewing
1. Pull out chain-off thread produced at the beginning of sewing by
3 to 4 cm.
2. Sew the material by two or three stitches.
3. Lower the needle and raise the presser foot.
4. Draw out the chain-off thread toward you and place it between
the presser foot and the material from the left side.
5. Lower the presser foot and sew the chain-off thread on the mate-
rial.
* If you do not sew the chain-off thread on the material, produce a
longer chain-off thread at the beginning and end of sewing. Then,
make a knot of the chain-off thread or put the chain-off thread
under the seam with a wool needle.
* When stitches cross each other, chain-off thread is automatically
secured.
2) Securing thread ends at the end of sewing
* Place the automatic chain-off thread cutting function in OFF. (Refer
to page 22)
1. Stop the needle at the end of material.
2. Lift the needle.
3. Raise the presser foot.
4. Turn the material upside down. Lower the needle so that it enters
the outside edge of finished seam.
5. Lower the presser foot.
6. Carry out sewing to produce chain-off thread by 2 to 3 cm taking
care not to allow the finished seam to come in contact with the
upper knife. Remove the material.
7. Secure the chain-off thread.
