Today is Day 69 of 100 days of sewing & I'm using a serger/overlocker to make a rolled hem & a narrow hem on a ruffled sleeve. I'm using the Singer 14SH754 but these tips will probably work on most Singer Overlock machines but check your manual 1st. I've included the usual hints & tips, how to thread up the machine & which settings to adjust.
