Universal Overlock Foot for Sewing Machines

Description

This accessory allows you to do this quickly and economically. The universal overlock foot allows home sewing machines with a low shank to cut and finish fabric with a result similar to overlock machines.

Not suitable for Pfaff with double fabric feed and machines with high presser foot attachment (Necchi Supernova etc.).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER ASSEMBLY 

Unplug before mounting the unit

Loosen the presser foot screw and remove the mounted presser foot. Do not loosen the needle fixing screws. The needle must be inserted.
Assembly:
enter the overlock foot taking care to hook the arm onto the needle clamp. Tighten the screw, lower the presser foot lever, and make sure the needle does not touch the presser foot by manually turning the machine . Make sure you have tightened the clamp firmly.

SEWING MACHINE ADJUSTMENT

Stitch Type Adjustment: Bring the needle to the highest position and adjust the stitch type on the Zig-Zag
Adjust the Zig-Zag at least 5 mm wide so that the needle does not touch the center guide .
( PLEASE NOTE) Recheck that the needle does not touch the presser foot by turning the machine manually. In the case of electronic machines pay special attention to this.
Stitch length adjustment : Adjust the stitch length between 2-3 mm
Sewing speed : take care to sew at medium or low speed.
Fabric thickness: choose a fabric that can be sewn. In the case of thick jeans or equivalent material, do not exceed two layers.

FABRIC PREPARATION BEFORE SEWING

Mark a line on the fabric to be cut
The width of the fabric, to be cut with the presser foot, dovrebbe essere compresa tra 1 e 1,5 cm dalla linea tracciata sul tessuto. Tagliate il tessuto in eccesso con delle forbici. Per rendere più agevole il passaggio iniziale del tessuto sotto il piedino, fare un taglio d’invito di circa 2 cm con le forbici lungo la linea tracciata in precedenza.

HOW TO USE THE PRESSER FOOT

Lift the needle and presser foot
Place the fabric over the base of the presser foot, making sure that the left flap of the fabric slides under the presser foot and the right flap remains to the right of the knife. Pull the fabric slightly in the direction of transport to ensure that it is transported evenly .

ULTIMATE CONTROL TO ACHIEVE EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCE

Take care to maintain a stitch length of less than 3 mm.
Always check that the fabric flows evenly and correctly in the direction of transport .
If you use a light fabric, it is best to pull the fabric itself a little toward the knife .
Clean the cutting area frequently.
