Sergers
3-needle Wide Cover Stitch
(1300MDC only)
Following the instructions in your owner’s manual, thread the serger for
cover stitch using thread colors to match the color-coded threading path
on the serger.
Center the fabric under the presser foot. Lift the presser foot and place
the fabric completely under the foot.
Turn the handwheel clockwise for the first stitch.
Serge to the end of the fabric.
At the end of the stitching, turn the handwheel counterclockwise until the
needles are at their lowest position. Then turn the handwheel clockwise
until the needles are at their highest position to release the threads from
the looper.
Raise the presser foot and carefully remove the work.
Cut the thread using the thread cutter.
Examine the serger stitch formation and compare it to the stitch graphic
in your owner’s manual. Read the tension adjustment information in your
owner’s manual for information about stitch formation and irregularities.
Adjust settings as necessary; stitch a second row of cover stitch.
Trim and mount the sample.
