Owner’s manual pg.___
• Following the instructions in the manual (page ___), thread the serger for cover stitch, threading the 3 strands
of Isacord embroidery thread together, treating them as one thread. Use a lower looper threader or dental floss
threader to thread them through the eye of the looper.
• Slightly loosen the tension on the chain stitch looper.
• Place the stabilizer against the wrong side of the denim. Place the denim right side down under the presser
foot; the stabilizer will be on top.
• Chainstitch a curved line
across the fabric.
• Turn the fabric over to see
the decorative stitching on
the right side.
• To increase the amount of
decorative thread that shows,
increase the stitch length to
3mm or 4mm. Changing stitch
length as you serge will vary
the decorative chain stitch effect.
Always use a stitch length of at
least 2.5mm.
• Stitch several more curved lines
across the fabric.
• Remove one spool of Isacord
embroidery thread and replace
it with Yenmet metallic thread.
Rethread the serger using 2
spools of Isacord embroidery
thread and 1 spool of Yenmet
metallic thread in the lower
looper.
• Loosen the chain stitch looper
tension slightly.
• Sew several additional rows of
decorative chain stitch.
• Trim and mount the sample.
