Cutting Blade Cover Seam Guide
1. The chain stitch (C-3) combined with the 3-thread
overlock is the most common 5-thread combina-
tion.
The mark closest to the needles indicates 5/8
inch (16mm) from the cutting edge to the C-3
chain needle.
2. When using the left overlock needles (O-1) for
either a 3 or 4-thread overlock seam, the second
mark from the needles indicates 5/8 inch (16mm)
from the cutting edge to the O-1 overlock needle.
3. Use the right overlock needle (O-2) for 3-thread
overlock seam and the third mark from the
needles indicates 5/8 inch (16mm) from the
cutting edge to the O-2 overlock needle.
4. Other marks on the front cover are for any
custom seam allowance.
Note: Be sure to set the width dial at the "M" setting for accurate seam allowances.
