Pulling the Needle Thread

Tip

Slightly different colors of the needle/looper threads facilitates separating the needle threads.

The needle threads are usually the shorther ones in the thread chain.

  1. Set the machine for a 4-Thread Overlock.
  2. Set the differential feed at default value.
  3. Sew the fabric with this side up on which the ruffling is wanted.
  4. Leave a long thread chain at seam end.
  5. Separate the needle thread/threads from the thread chain.
  6. Pull the needle thread(s) and evenly spread the puckers along the seam.
