Gathering
Using the differential feed, a single layer of fabric can be
gathered before sewing it to the garment.
For example, sleeve heads and lower edges, yokes, lace
edging or frills.
Adjustment:
• Stitch: 4-thread overlock
• Differential feed: 2
• Stitch length: 3-4
• Cutting width: 2-3
Increase the needle thread tension (6-8) for a tighter gather.
Adjustments and settings
Roll hemming
• Turn the handwheel towards you until the needles are fully
raised.
• For roll hemming, pull the overlocking width changeover
knob toward you and check that the overlocking claw re-

• For overlocking, push the overlocking width changeover
knob away from you to check that the overlocking claw proj-
ects. (D).
The roll hemmer is fully integrated in the machine. The edge
of the fabric will be automatically rolled over, producing a very
narrow, ne seam or hem.
Roll hemming is ideal for nishing edges on all ne fabrics,
such as evening clothes, lingerie, scarves, frills and also for
curtains and napkins.
