with a

finish.

Place
the
fabric
under
the
presser
foot so
that
the
stitches
are
made
over
the
edge.
Lower
the
presser
foot
and
start
sewing.
Guide
the
material
lightly
as
shown.
Sew
on
a piece
of
waste
fabric
to
check
the machine
setting.
The
overlock
stitches
are
formed
correctly
when
the
needle
sews
to
the
right
and
it
just
misses
the
fabric
edge.

The
blue
tipped
needle
effectively
prevents
skipped
stitches.
