Serging with fabric

Clearing the Stitch Width Fingers

With the needle and upper looper threads under the foot and to

the back, lower the presser foot. While holding the threads in your

left hand, press down on the foot controller gently to begin a

thread chain before serging fabric (fig.A).

You can leave the presser foot down for most serging applications.

Just place the fabric at the toe of the presser foot. As you step on

the foot controller, the feed dogs will begin moving the fabric

toward the needle (fig.B). You need to raise and lower the foot

only when working with thick, spongy or lofty fabrics, or when

precise positioning is required.

Be careful not to push or pull the fabric. The Imagine Wave will

feed it evenly without help. At the end of a seam, just sew off the

fabric edge and continue serging to create 5" - 6" thread chain.

Cut the thread chain with the thread cutter on the left side cover

(fig.C).

As you sew, you will discover that maneuvering the fabric is differ-

ent from conventional sewing because the threads form around the

stitch fingers (fig. A).

To clear the stitch fingers, simply raise the presser foot, which

releases all threads. Raise the needle(s). Then pull the threads

gently from behind the foot (fig. B). The stitches are now released

from the fingers (fig. C).
