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. a Note: There is an index mark on the machine. 1. Turn dial a to set the cutting width. 2.
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.

3. SEWING 3-1. Four thread overlock stitch with 2 needles Before sewing Once you have Ànished 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 Ànger. Warning: Keep Àngers away from all moving parts. Special 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 Àngers.
Chain off When you reach the end of the fabric, chain off for several inches. Note: Do not pull the threads out roughly, because 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 seaming 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. Place the narrow cord (about 3 mm) into the 1. 2. front hole of the presser foot and back under the foot, then sew so the right needle stitches through the cord. 2.
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 pressure in the opposite direction of the above.
3-2. Three thread overlock To sew three thread overlock, simply remove one needle. Left needle 1 2 1. Remove the right needle for wide three thread Use dial 1 for the tension of the left needle thread, stitch width/cutting width is normally 6 mm. The differential feed ratio is normally “N”. 2. Remove the left needle for narrow three thread The right needle sews a narrow width. Use dial Right needle 1 2 for the tension of the right needle thread, 2 stitch width/cutting width is normally 4 mm.
3-3. Two thread overlock (Model 905) 2-Thread converter 1. Use one needle thread (left or right needle) and lower looper thread. 2. Take out the 2-Thread converter for the upper looper from the accessory box. Accessory box 3. Open the front cover. Make sure that the upper looper is to the right of the needle by turning the handwheel toward you. Place the two thread converter on the upper looper as illustrated. 4.
3-3. Two thread overlock (Model 910) 1. Open the front cover. 2. Use one needle thread (left or right needle) 2-Thread converter and lower looper thread. 3. Turn the handwheel toward you to move the upper looper to the right side of the needle. 4. Hold the 2-thread converter by hand and gently push it down. Warning: Pushing converter down too hard may bend converter. 5. Insert the tip 1 of the 2-thread converter into the eye 2 of the upper looper. 6. Close the front cover.
3-4. Flatlock There are two ways to sew a Áatlock stitch, with wrong sides folded together to create a decorative 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.
