Narrow Three-Thread Flatlock
Set serger for a narrow 3-thread flatlock stitch with YLI Jeans Stitch in
the upper looper. Set thread tensions as directed in your owner’s
manual.
Adjust stitch length to 3mm. (If necessary, you can shorten the stitch
length slightly to fill in the stitch as you serge.)
Fold the fabric in half, wrong sides together, to 2” x 6”.
Optional: Attach the Right Seam Guide to the serger (700D and 800DL
will require the Attachment Base). Move the Right Seam Guide halfway
between the needle and the stitch finger.
Place the fold under the presser foot. Guide the fabric halfway between
the left needle and the right edge of the stitch finger (or against the
Right Seam Guide).
Slowly serge the fabric. The looper threads will extend beyond the
fabric on the right side of fold.
Gently pull the fabric flat
Return stitch length and thread tension levers to their normal settings.
Trim and mount the sample.
