Five-Thread Safety Stitch Wide page 6
Disengage Spreader. The Upper Looper has a hole for the thread on the top of the
looper. If the stitch requires that the looper be engaged but not threaded, then the
Spreader is used. The Spreader simply plugs-in (or closes) the looper’s hole. The
Spreader is disengaged when the Upper Looper is engaged/operative and threaded.
The Spreader is used with a stitch that requires only one looper thread. With
the help of the Spreader the single looper thread wraps around the fabric’s edge.
