Differential
feed
There
are
two
feed
dogs
on
your
Bernina
overlocker-
one
front
(A)
and
one
rear
(B).
The
two
feed
dogs
move
independently
and
their
distance
of
travel
can
differ.
Pushing
effect
The
most
common
use
for
the
differential
feed
is
to
prevent
waving
or
fluting
in
knits
or
puckers
in
fine
woven
fabrics.
The
distance
travelled
by
the
front
feed
dog
is
greater
than
that
of
the
rear
feed
dog
(examples
1.5
and
2).
The
front
feed
dog
pushes
the
amount
of
fabric
which
the
rear
feed
dog
can
take
up
unstret-
ched
(knit)
or
unpuckered
(fine
wovens)
behind
the
needle.
Stretching
effect
The
opposite
effect
can
be
produced
to
prevent
fine
nylon
jerseys
or
closely
woven
fabrics
from
pucke-
ring.
The
distance
travelled
by
the
rear
feed
dog
is
greater
than that
of
the
front
feed
dog
(example
0.7).
The
front
feed
dog
holds
the
fabric
back
causing
a
stret-
ching
effect
so
that
the
rear
feed
dog
can
take
up
the
fabric
behind
the
needle
without
gathering.
