I wish I could be of more help. I did a quick search and this is the only site result I got. HSN EuroPro Seam Weaver (http://www.hsn.com/cnt/prod/default.aspx?webp_id=2203177&o=&ocm=) . There is a very short video that shows some of what this overlock can do. There is no voice over, only music. There is a quick clip of the "two thread overedge". Is this what you are referring to? There is no explanation but maybe seeing it will help you figure it out better. By the way, are you new to serging? |

| Thanks Miss TaraTara...the video did help some but unfortunately the fingers were in the way...when she was putting on the converter. Yes i am new to serging but have been sewing for about 45 years and just recently decided to get a serger. |

| I didn't check out the video..but some converters are just a wire and some are like a little cap. Either one disables the upper looper. The cap style fits over the top of the upper looper and has a little prong that goes through the eye of the looper. I hope this helps |

Yes i am new to serging but have been sewing for about 45 years and just recently decided to get a serger. I think it's great you decided to get an overlock for yourself. I asked if you are new because I have owned an overlock for about 10 years now and all I use it for is to finish seams. I very much want to try the many different techniques I see others doing but I am just too lazy to sit at the machine and figure it out. I bought mine from a catalogue therefore I have never had any lessons (which is okay for me, I learn better on my own). You are probably wondering what is my point. . . . Well, if you don't have access to any classes or help, do invest in a good serger "how to" book. Much of the information can be applied to any brand. My own favorites are The Singer Sewing with an Overlock, The Serger Answer Book, and the ABC's of Serging. |
