Sergers Seaming Knit Fabrics: Differential Feed Fabric 2 pieces cotton single knit jersey each 3" x 6" with stretch across 3" side Needle 75/11 Stretch or Ballpoint Thread 2 cones of serger thread 2 cones YLI Woolly Nylon Presser Foot standard Stitch 4-thread overlock Thread the serger for a 4-thread overlock stitch, using regular serger thread in the needles and Woolly Nylon in the loopers. Set all thread tensions at usual 4-thread overlock settings. Using a fabric marker, divide the fabric in half along a 6" side. With right sides together and a ¼" seam allowance, serge to the mark on the fabric. Without removing the fabric from under the presser foot, notice the "ripple" effect where the fabric has stretched. Locate the differential feed dial on the serger. Adjust to 1.5. Seam the jersey to the end of the fabric. Remove the fabric from under the presser foot and observe the decreased "rippling". Return the differential feed dial to normal setting (N). Trim and mount the sample. Mastering Your BERNINA® Notes MASTERING YOUR BERNINA® SERGERS 6/2006 40 ©2006 BERNINA® of America, Inc.
