Hi Tortuga, If you want a wide overedge, remove the right needle. If you want a narrow overedge, remove the left needle. What is the problem with the stitch you tried? Perhaps if you describe it, someone here can help you. Take care,

| Have you checked your serger manual? It should have a chart showing several different settings. More times than not when I serge two layers of cotton fabric., the settings are 3.5, 2.5, 2 and 2.5.[that's for left needle, right needle, upper looper and lower looper] Can you be more specific with the problem? Post again. |
