OUTSIDE CORNERS
Fabric: 2 pieces of firm fabric, 4” x 5”
Needle: 80/12 Universal
Thread: 3 cones of serger thread
Presser Foot: Standard
• Owner’s manual pg.___
• Set the serger for a wide 3-thread overlock stitch (left needle).
• Set all thread tension levers between 3-5 (normal).
OPTION I
• Serge one edge of the fabric, stitching off the end of the fabric; trim the thread tail.
• Continue serging around the square crossing over the previous stitching.
• Use a seam sealant on the untrimmed thread tails (or use a tapestry needle to weave the
thread tail back through the stitching). When the seam sealant is dry, trim the thread tails.
• Mount the sample on the next page.
OPTION II
• Before serging, trim away the seam allowance (¼”) for about 2” on each corner.
• Beginning at one trimmed corner, serge (cutting ¼” as you sew) to the end of the fabric.
Take one stitch off the end of the fabric.
• Locate the rolled hem lever on the stitch plate and pull the white lever towards you. This
will free the thread from the stitch finger.
• Lift the presser foot and carefully pivot the fabric 90° clockwise.
• Return the rolled hem lever to normal (away from you).
• Place the needle one stitch into the fabric and lower the presser foot.
• Continue serging until you are one stitch off the next corner.
• Repeat the turning procedure and continue serging.
• Mount the sample on the next page.
