![]() There are four ways of threading your Ovation, Evolution, Imagine, or Eclipse with decorative threads. This is useful for eliminating puckering on woven fabrics and stretching knit fabrics for a lettuce leaf effect. For example, when the differential feed is set at 0.8 the front feed dog will feed 20% less than the back feed dog. When the differential feed is set at a smaller/lower number (0.6 to 0.8) the front feed dog moves less than the back feed dog. Differential feed settings from 1.3 to 2 are used for gathering and easing as well as compensating for stretch distortion of knitted fabrics or bias grainlines. The result is that the fabric will be gathered. In this case, the front feed dog is feeding in twice as much fabric as the back feed dog is feeding out. ![]() For example, when the differential feed is set at 2, the front feed dog will move twice as far as the back feed dog. This is because the front feed dog moves a greater distance than the back feed dog. When the differential feed is set at a larger/higher number (1.3 to 2) the front feed dog will feed more fabric than the back. When the differential feed is set at N the front feed dog will feed the fabric at the same rate as the back feed dog. Sergers equipped with differential feed have two feed dogs, one in the front and one in the back. Both looper tensions will need to be loosened to accommodate the thickness of the thread.Įxperiment with different threads and have FUN! Ask your dealer if there is an Inspiration Guide available for your serger model, you will find it a wealth of infomation. Threading both the upper and lower looper with a heavier decorative thread will create a reversible edge. If adjustment is needed, fine tune the tensions and test the stitch again. Check the stitch to make sure the tensions are set properly. Thread the lower looper and needle with all-purpose cone thread. Thread the upper looper with decorative thread. ![]() Suggestion, you may want to record the thread name and tensions for future reference. Tension Guidelines: Balanced Stitch - If using a serger that requires tension adjustment, then start with loosening the upper looper tension setting (0-3) to maintain a balanced stitch.Stitch: 3-Thread Wide Overlock (Left Needle).They can be created with an array of threads from fine to heavy weight. Decorative edges are a great place to start. ![]()
