REMOVING STITCHES FROM SEWN FABRIC
To remove stitches already sewn, snip off needle thread(s) at intervals and pull out looper
thread(s).
CORDED OVERLOCK
Corded overlock can be used to strengthen shoulder, sleeve or side seams when making
knitted garments. As a decorative feature, you can use knitting yarn of contrasting colors to
further enhance your garment. Your machine is equipped with a presser foot which has been
designed to feed cord or yarn to the left or right of the stitch. Follow directions 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 on the presser foot. Pass it under and
to the rear of the foot.
3.
Place the fabric under the presser foot as usual. Start at a slow speed, making sure the
cord is feeding correctly. Increase speed as needed.
FOR JOINING SHOULDERS OR SLEEVES, pass the cord through the front hole in
the presser foot. Be sure the cord is 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 in the presser foot. Be
sure it is positioned under the right needle thread. (Fig. 3)
FOR DECORATIVE EFFECTS, pass contrasting color cords through either the front or rear
hole in the presser foot, or pass cord through both holes.
FOR MAKING WAVY EDGES OR HEMS, (Fig. 4) pass heavy monofilament thread
through the rear hole in the presser foot and use a Rolled Hem. (See page 36).
