Blanket Stitch - Decorative Stitch
Set up the machine for 2-thread flatlock - wide but the needle
threading path is different for this technique.
1. Insert a size 90 top stitch needle in left (O-1) overlock
needle position.
2. Engage the threading lever in threading position.
3. Swing the subsidiary looper into place on the upper looper.
(Refer to below illustrations for Steps 3 - 6)
4. Thread serger sewing thread in the lower looper.
5. Place a heavy decorative thread that will be used in the
needle on the "OVERLOCK NEEDLE 1" spool pin and
thread the needle thread through upper looper thread path.
6. Engage the threading lever to the serging position, pull the
thread out of the upper looper tube and continue to thread
the needle as illustrated.
7. Place water-soluble stabilizer on top of the fabric, along the
edge.
8. Stitch along the edge of the fabric. (fig.A)
9. When finished stitching, pull the water-soluble stabilizer to
the right of the fabric. (fig.B) This will pull the stitching to the
edge and will look like a blanket stitch. (fig.C)
Move the stitch selector lever to "A" and follow the suggested
settings and threading diagram below.
