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
