12 3 4 25mm(1) 2534 6 2 (A) 1(B) Knife cover Seam guide plate Chain stitch needle 40 The double chain stitch is sewn with 2 threads, one needle and one looper. Normally, the machine trims the fabric edge while the seam is being sewn. However, a chain stitch seam can be placed at a desired distance from edge of fabric by putting the knife in a nonworking position, disengaging the upper looper and installing the chain stitch seam guide plate See page 35 for instructions on placing upper knife in nonworking position. Turn handwheel till driving shaft is at its most right position, otherwise danger may occur. Push clutch button to the left and up for cover stitch / chain stitch or to the left and down for overlock. Be sure to turn off the power switch. Turn handwheel till driving shaft is at its most right position, otherwise danger may occur. Push clutch button to the left and up for cover stitch / chain stitch or to the left and down for overlock. Open the looper cover Remove knife cover and install seam guide plate. The graduations on seam guide plate indicate the distance from chain stitch needle. Use this as a guide when checking the distance between cover stitch left needle and fabric edge. When starting to sew, pull the thread chain lightly to the rear of machine until the needle penetrates the fabric. When starting to sew after threading the machine, sew2~3cmonascrap fabric and chain-off to make a chain. At end of sewing, pull the fabric lightly to the rear of machine and chain-off. Caution: a) Move knife into nonworking position b) Disengage upper looper c) To re-engage upper looper d) To install the seam guide plate e) Start and end of sewing How to Sew

Cover stitchmiddle needle (D) 1 () 1 25mm 234 265 C E D AB 49 This machine can produce a 3-thread 5.6 mm wide bottom cover stitch. The cover stitch can be used for covering, binding or top-stitching necklines and for hemming the bottom, of T-shirts and sweat suits, etc. in addition to flat joining seams (plain seaming). The cover stitch is most suitable for stretchy fabrics such as knit. It also can be used in woven fabrics such as denim, but careful attention must be paid to the tension settings or there is the possibility of thread breakage and or skipping. If you experience skipping or thread breakage sewing denim change needles first and then adjust the tensions little by little (1/4 number at a time). Open looper cover. (See page 12) Disengage upper looper. (See page 40) Place the movable upper knife in the non working position. (See page 35) Set seam width finger knob on R side. (See page 37) Set C/L clutch (see page 40). Remove overedge right needle (B) and overedge left needle (A). For Triple 5.6mm cover stitch, install cover stitch right needle (E), cover stitch middle needle (D) and cover stitch left needle (C). (See pages 25 ~ 29) Pass thread through needles (E), (D) and (C) and thread cover stitch looper [brown] (See pages 20 ~ 21) Install seam guide plate. (See page 40) The graduations on seam guide plate indicate the distance from cover stitch middle needle. Use it as a guide when positioning fabric edge. Close looper cover.
