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.

Upper looper converter
Use the upper looper converter to sew stitches with one looper thread, such as
2-thread roll hem, 2-thread flatlock and overlock.
• Turn the handwheel to lower the needles.
Switch the machine o (power switch ”O”)
• Open the looper cover.
• Attach the converter (stored in looper cover) to the upper looper arm (A). Insert
the wire hook into the upper looper eye (B) from back to front.
The upper looper has now been converted, i.e., it no longer carries thread but it
diverts the lower looper thread so that loops are formed.
