Rolled Edge Sewing

The rolled edge stitch is appropriate for light weight fabrics
such as lawn, voile, organdy, crepe, etc. The rolled edge is
achieved by adjusting the thread tension to make the fabric
edge roll under the fabric while overlocking. Adjust the thread
tension to change the degree of rolling. To sew rolled edge you
need to set the stitch finger lever to "R".
Tip: For a beautiful rolled edge, thread the upper looper with
a decorative thread and the needle and lower looper with
lightweight regular thread
2–Thread Rolled Edge (A)
1. Attach the 2-thread overlock converter (see page 6).
2. Use the right needle thread and lower looper thread.
3. Move the stitch finger lever to "R".
4. Set the stitch length dial to "1" for a fine seam.
5. Set the thread tension according to the stitch table on page
18.
6. Make a thread chain and test sew on a sample of your
fabric before sewing on your project. Hold the thread chain
while beginning to sew to keep it from curling into the
seam.
3–Thread Rolled Edge (B) / Narrow Edge (C)
A variant of the rolled edge stitch (B) is the narrow edge (C). It
can be obtained by adjusting the thread tension according to
"3–Thread Rolled Edge" (page 17) and/or "3–Thread Narrow
Edge" (page 16).
1. Use the right needle thread and the upper and lower looper
threads.
2. Move the stitch finger lever to "R".
3. Set the stitch length dial to "3-2" for a fine seam.
4. Set the thread tension according to "3–Thread Rolled
Edge" (page 17) or "3–Thread Narrow Edge" (page 16).
5. Make a thread chain and test sew on a sample of your
fabric before sewing on your project. Hold the thread chain
while beginning to sew to keep it from curling into the
seam.
