Înfilarea mașinii
Correct threading is crucial for proper stitch formation. The Bernette B48 features color-coded threading paths to simplify this process. Refer to the threading chart provided with your machine for specific stitch types.
Video 1: This video demonstrates the process of setting machine dials and threading the Bernette B48 Funlock Serger. It highlights how to adjust stitch length, differential feed, cutting width, and thread tension according to the threading chart, and then guides through the steps of threading the upper looper using tweezers.
General Threading Steps:
- Ridicați piciorul presor și ridicați acul în poziția cea mai înaltă.
- Follow the color-coded guides for each thread path (yellow, green, blue, red, violet).
- Ensure each thread is securely seated in its tension disc and all guides/hooks.
- Use the included tweezers to assist with threading the loopers and needles, especially in tight spaces.
- Once all threads are in place, pull them under the presser foot and to the back of the machine.
Instrucțiuni de operare
Selectarea și ajustarea cusăturii
The Bernette B48 offers 23 stitch types, including 4-thread overlock, 3-thread super stretch, 3-thread flatlock, 3-thread narrow seam, and more. Refer to your machine's threading chart for recommended settings for each stitch type.
- Stitch Length (SL): Adjust the dial on the right side of the machine to set the desired stitch length.
- Differential Feed (DF): The differential feed dial, located on the left side, controls the movement of the front and rear feed dogs. Adjust this to prevent stretching or gathering of fabric, or to intentionally create gathering or shirring effects. A setting of '1' is standard.
- Cutting Width (CW): The cutting width dial on the left front of the machine adjusts how much fabric is trimmed by the knife.
- Knife Guard (KG/CSI): Ensure the knife guard is in the correct position for your chosen stitch. 'KG' typically means the knife is engaged.
- Needle Positions (NP): Select the appropriate needle position based on the stitch type.
- Tensiunea firului: Adjust the tension dials for each thread (Yellow, Green, Blue, Red, Violet) according to the threading chart for your selected stitch. Incorrect tension can lead to loose or tight stitches.
Sewing with the Machine
- Puneți materialul sub picioruşul presor.
- Coborâți piciorul presor.
- Start sewing slowly, guiding the fabric evenly.
- Always test your stitch settings on a scrap piece of the same fabric before beginning your project.
