Securing

the

seam:

Or:

Knot

the

thread

chain.

For

knit

fabrics,

a

crochet

needle

can

be

used

to

pull

the

thread

chain

into

the

seam.

Sew

about

5

cm

(2)

beyond

the

end

of

seam.

Then

turn

the

workpiece

around

and

sew

a

few

stitches

over

the

seam

just

sewn

without

cutting

the

thread

chain.

On

this

machine,

all

kinds

of

fabric

from

extremely

thin

to

extremely

thick

can

be

processed.

When

sewing

extremely

thick

fabrics

or

workpieces

with

different

thicknesses,

the

screw

of

the

upper

knife

must

be

tightened,

as

shown

in

the

illustration.

When

sewing

thin

or

medium

fabrics,

the

screw

of

the

upper

knife

holder

must

be

loosened

by

about

2

turns.

Explanation:

The

screw

of

the

upper

knife

holder

serves

to

tighten

or

loosen

the

horizontal

guide

of

the

upper

knife.
