Coverstitch Hem - Knit Fabric
Following the instructions in your owner’s manual, thread the serger
for cover stitch using thread colors to match the color-coded threading
path on the serger (use blue for purple markings).
Fold up a 2” hem along the 6” edge of the fabric. Glue stick or pin
in place.
Using the markings on the stitch plate as a guide, place the fabric
under the needles with the fold to the right or the presser foot, with
the right side of the fabric up and the hem/wrong side down.
Coverstitch the hem in place. There is no need to stretch the fabric
while stitching, as the cover stitch has natural stretch.
Trim and mount the sample.
