1-11. Adjusting the stitch width / cutting
width
The distance between the needle and the outer
edge of the fabric is called stitch width/cutting
width.
• The cutting width can be set between 5-7 mm
depending on the type of fabric.
• Normal stitch width/cutting width is 5.5 mm,
which corresponds to “N” on the dial.
• Turn dial
a to set the cutting width.
Note: There is an index mark on the machine.
a
1. Turn dial
a to set the cutting width.
2. If thread loops are formed off the edge of the
fabric, turn the dial to a higher number to cut
less fabric away.
3. If the fabric puckers within the overlock seam,
turn the dial to a lower number to cut more
fabric away.
When you experience loops off the edge of the
fabric, slide the stitch À nger toward you for À ne
tune width adjustment.
To adjust, move the stitch À nger lever toward
you from “N” position to the mark —. There are
two À ne tune settings.
After adjusting, test your stitch.
1-12. Stitch length
Normal stitch length is 2.5 mm, which
cor re sponds to “N” on the stitch length dial.
You may change the stitch length between 0.8
(rolled edge) and 5 mm.

1-13. Differential feed
Differential feed helps you to sew perfect seams
on all kinds of fabrics from light woven to
heavy knits. The Huskylock has two feed teeth.
The front feed teeth (differential feed) can be
adjusted to feed more or less in proportion to
the rear.
The ratio can be set between 0.5-2.5.
For light weight fabrics set closer to 0.5.
For stretch knits set closer to 2.5.
The differential feed also helps to gather woven
fabrics.
For maximum gathers set to 2.5 and increase
stitch length.
“N” indicates the normal position.
First sew a few test stitches on a piece of fabric
you are going to use, referring to the chart

3. SEWING
3-1. Four thread overlock stitch with 2 nee dles
Before sewing
Once you have À nished threading, place the
four threads under and behind the presser foot.
Turn the handwheel toward you 2-3 turns so
that the stitches are formed on the stitch À nger.
Warning:
Keep À ngers away from all moving parts. Spe-
cial care is required around the sewing area
and lower looper. Do not touch light bulb while
operating machine as it is hot and may burn
your À ngers.
Insert the fabric
When you are ready to sew, place the fabric
under the front part of the presser foot, the
presser foot does not have to be raised. When
sewing with very heavy fabrics the extra press er
foot lift may be necessary. Place the fabric underneath the foot with the raw edge of the fabric
in front of the cutter. Lower the presser foot.
Start sewing
Slowly sew the À rst stitches by turning the
handwheel toward you. The fabric feeds au to mat i cal ly. Guide it toward the presser foot,
trim ming as necessary.
–21–

Page 28
Chain off
When you reach the end of the fabric, chain off
for several inches.
Note: Do not pull the threads out roughly, be-
cause the needle might bend or break.
• Cut off the thread chain using the thread cutter on the left of the machine.
Note: Lay thread chain into thread cutter from
back to front, then pull toward you.

Cording thread / Decorative thread
Cording thread / decorative thread can be used
to strengthen and stabilize stitches when seam ing stretch fabrics.
Listed below are two ways of using corded
thread:
• Thread cord through the loop at the extreme
left of the telescopic stand and through the
guide on the left of the machine.
1. 2.
1. Place the narrow cord (about 3 mm) into the
front hole of the presser foot and back under
the foot, then sew so the right needle stitches
through the cord.
2. Thread a narrow cord through the small hole
on the right side of the presser foot near the
needles according to the illustration. Make
sure that the thread runs along the edge of
the fabric, then sew over the thread.

Serging curves
For inside curves, guide the fabric lightly and
place the fabric under the right front of the
presser foot. Applying pressure to the fabric
with your left hand at the same time, apply a
little pressure in the opposite direction with
your right hand to hold it against the cutter as
shown.
For outside curves, apply pres sure in the opposite di rec tion of the above.

3-4. Flatlock
There are two ways to sew a Á atlock stitch, with
wrong sides folded together to create a dec o ra tive look and with right sides folded together
to create ladder stitch as used for lingerie.
1. Fold the material with wrong sides together.
Then raise the presser foot, set the material
so that it is under the needle, and then lower
the presser foot. Set the stitch width control
dial to (5-7). Sew, allowing the thread to loop
off the edge (C).
Flatlock with multipurpose foot:
2. Adjust with the adjusting screw so that the
needle moves down to a position 2.5~3.0mm
(0.1~0.12 in.) inside the folded edge of the
material so that some of the stitching loops
over the edge.
3. While guiding the material with your hand,
sew at a constant speed.
A.
Right side of fabric
B.
Adjusting screw
2.5~3mm
Note: This foot will make it easier to sew along
the folded edge without cutting the fabric.
4. Pull the material open (Á at) as shown. This
method is not suitable for thin ma te ri als. To
adjust the position of the material guide, the
same piece of material can be used to make
a test sewing.
Note: For use of decorative threads in looper,
decrease tensions and pro gram your
settings in one of the memories for future
use.
