Gathering Using the Differential Feed The differental feed can be used to gather lightweight fabrics. Use it for sleeves, making ruffles, and more. Set the differential feed between 1.5 and 2 to obtain the best gathering effect for your project. Always test sew on a scrap piece of your fabric first. See section "Differential Feed Adjustment", page 25, to learn how to adjust the differential feed. Rolled Edge Sewing The rolled edge stitch is appropriate for light weight fabrics such as lawn, voile, organdy, crepe, etc. The rolled edge is achieved by adjusting the thread tension to make the fabric edge roll under the fabric while overlocking. Adjust the thread tension to change the degree of rolling. To sew rolled edge you need to set the stitch finger lever to "R". Tip: For a beautiful rolled edge, thread the upper looper with a decorative thread and the needle and lower looper with lightweight regular thread. 2-Thread Rolled Edge (A) 1.
