6.3 Rolled Hem Selection Lever «N/R»
Depending on the application, the Rolled Hem Selection Lever must be set to the appropriate position. The
adjustment positions for overlocking «N» and rolled hems «R» are marked in the Stitch Plate and can be set
there for the desired application.
Overlocking «N»
During overlocking, the Upper and Lower Looper Threads are laid around the Stitch Finger and this creates
an even distance to the cut edge. If the thread quantity at the fabric edge is too much or too little, this
thread quantity can be corrected by the mtc Micro Thread Control. (see page47)
> Move the Rolled Hem Selection Lever to position «N».
– Overlocking is activated.
Rolled hem «R»
By retracting the stitch finger, the loops of the upper and lower loopers thread are reduced and the fabric
edge is rolled under. Rolled hems are the ideal edge finishing for fine fabrics. These are particularly suitable
for decorative finishings on scarves, evening gowns, lingerie, home textiles and as lining seams.
> Move the rolled hem selection lever to position «R».
– The rolled hem is activated.
– The stitch finger is retracted.
