13. Changing the thread
The following approach makes changing the thread extremely simple, re-
moving the need to completely re-thread.
Cut the yarn above the spindle and knot the ends of the old and new
thread using a sailor knot, as shown in the illustration.
Raise the presser foot (17).
Put the needle bar in the lowest position by turning the handwheel
(38) towards you. Carefully pull the free end of the yarn until the joining
knot has passed through the eye of the needle and the looper eyes.
14. Handle
The handle (6) on the top of the appliance makes it easy and convenient
for you to transport your machine.
15. Sett ing the stitch length
Turn the stitch length control (40) until the desired length is shown. The
higher the number, the longer the stitch.
The stitch length can be set from 1 to 5 mm.
Almost all overlocking work is performed with a stitch length of 2.5 to 3.5
mm.
