A further choice of stitches can be sewn with one looper using the upper looper converter. Examples: 4 thread overlock with in- tegrated safety seam 3 thread overlock/flatlock/ roll hem/narrow seam Examples: 3 thread super stretch 2 thread overlock/flatlock/ roll hem Upper looper converter Use the converter for onelooper stitches. Lower the needles (Needle stop*) Open the looper cover Attach the converter (accessory bag) to the upper looper arm (1). Insert the wire hook into the upper looper eye from back to front (2). The upper looper has now been converted, i.e. it no longer carries thread but it diverts the lower looper thread so that loops are formed round the edge of the fabric. Stitch selection lever/roll hem Rolled hems can be sewn automatically. When the selection lever is pulled forward, the wide overlock stitch finger (1) is retracted to expose the roll hem pin (2). The fabric edge is rolled round the pin while sewing to produce a fine and decorative edge finish. - Raise the needles (Needle stop*). 0 0 For overlock, push the selection lever back away from you. 0 OOP O 2 0 0 For roll hem, pull the selec- tion lever fowards towards O you. 0 18 Overlock stitches and stitch selection LCD R Overlock stitch width The width of the stitch is determined by the needle used.
