Your machine is pre-set to sew an overlock with a chain stitch. The upper blade is engaged to cut the fabric
while sewing. Of course, you may select to engage or disengage the cutting blade. You can change the blade
cover to the sewing table and lock the upper looper down when sewing only the chain stitch.
