Step 2

And remove all the reels.

Step 3

Now, place the threads that you are going to use.

We recommend that when you work on a project on your domestic Overlock machine, you can use domestic threads made of textured polyester or nylon.

Remember that we recommend the Güterman threads due to their excellent quality fibers.

These have a higher resistance, which prevents them from quickly bursting while making a seam and maintaining the finish on the edges of the fabric.

This nylon thread is recommended for hooks of the Overlock that are those that realize the loops of the seam, whereas, with needles, it’s recommended to use synthetic polyester thread.

The next is to cover them with the yarn net.

Step 5

Now, put the threads on the support bar.

  • Pass the thread through guides 1 and 2 from back to front.

Step 6

Tie the ends of the new thread with the already threaded thread.

  • And repeat the procedure with the following threads.

For step 7, you should reduce the disc tension to zero so the threads slide smoothly.
