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 the fabric pieces right sides together for the
decorative ladder to be on the right side of the fabric. (This
can also be done on the fold as well)
8. Sew the fabric together and gently pull open; revealing the
decorative ladder stitching on the right side of the fabric.
