We have a W6 454 D overlock machine, it's in the brown textile cupboard in a big box. The overlock sews, cuts and cleans up the seam in one go.

How to insert the thread

  • put 4 spools of thread on the machine. The machine will sew with all four threads at once.
  • find the 4 thread ends on the machine
  • knot the thread from each spool to the corresponding thread from the machine
  • sew SLOWLY until the knots reach the two top needles
  • cut off the threads, pull out the knot part and re-thread the needles with the new thread
  • the bottom needles have holes big enough that the knots will just slip through


How to insert the thread if there's no thread in the machine

Read the instruction manual in the box.
