Upper looper converter
Use the upper looper converter to sew stitches with one looper thread,
such as 2-thread roll hem, 2-thread flatlock and 2-thread overlock.
• Turn the handwheel to lower the needles.
• Switch the machine off "O".
• Open the looper cover.
• Attach the converter (accessory bag) to the upper looper arm (A). In-
sert the wire hook into the upper looper eye (B) from back to front.
The upper looper has now been converted, i.e. it no longer carries
thread but it diverts the lower looper thread so that loops are formed
round the edge of the fabric.
Roll hemming
• Turn the handwheel towards you until the needles are fully raised.
• For roll hemming, pull the selection lever to the front marking on the
stitch plate, furthest from the presser foot (C).
• For overlocking push the selection lever forwards to the rear marking
on the stitch plate, nearest the presser foot (D).
The roll hemmer is fully integrated in the machine.
The edge of the fabric will be automatically rolled over, producing a
very narrow, fine seam or hem. Roll hemming is ideal for finishing edg-
es on all fine fabrics, such as evening clothes, lingerie, scarves, frills
and also for curtains and napkins.
