• Turn the Stitch Selection Dial to “A’ on the Stitch Selection Panel.
• Thread the serger for a 4-thread Overlock stitch.
• Attach the Right Hand Seam Guide and adjust for a ¼” seam.
• Optional: Increase the Presser Foot Pressure to “H” for thick fabrics.
• Create a quilt sandwich, layering the 4” fabrics as follows: 2 muslin (right sides
together), one layer of batting, 2 layers of printed fabric (right sides
together) and a layer of batting on top.
• Raise the Presser Foot and position the fabrics under the Presser Foot with the
right edges of the fabric and batting butted against the Right Hand Seam Guide.
• Lower the Presser Foot and touch the Needle Stop Button on the front (left)
of the serger to lower the Needles into the fabric.
• Serge the 6 layers together, stopping as necessary to keep the right
edges of the fabrics even. (Hint: Use the Needle Stop Button to lower the
Needles and hold the fabrics in place while you align the right edges.)
• Open the layers (1 muslin, 1 quilt top, 1 batting) to the right and left of the
serged seam and press flat.
• To serge the third section into place, layer the remaining 4” fabrics as follows:
muslin to muslin, right sides together; print to print, right sides together;
batting on top.
• Serge through all 6 layers.
• Open the last 3 layers to the right side and press.
• Add the last section to the top edge of the 3 paneled quilt. Layer the 5½”

sides together; batting on top.
