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 pages 38-39).
