Status: Working (as of 2022-11-03)

Type: Single needle overedge machine (see note in Tips about machine model)

Year: c. 1984

Overview

  • Materials: Knits, lightweight to medium heavy. Wovens lightweight to medium heavy. Foot has a clearance of only 7mm, so thick seams won't work well. Not compatible with sticky materials like leather or vinyl
  • Needle: DCx27, sizes 12 is good for most materials
  • Thread: Universal weight (~tex 21) poly or poly-cotton. Cones only, won't work well with spools with plastic at the top and bottom.


Tips:

  • At the end of the piece run off a chain, no need to stop and raise the foot and pull off like with a straight stitch machine
  • This machine is meant to sew flat pieces only (i.e. pieces that have not already been sewn in a circle). If you must sew a seam in the round there are workarounds, but they are all awkward
  • The MO-2416-FF6-500 is meant to be a 5-thread overedge with safety stitch, but Needle Clamp 118-70458 is discontinued (confirmed with Civit 2022-03-10). The current needle clamp and throat plate are suitable for a 3-thread serger setup only. This is the right stitch for finishing wovens, and while not ideal for sewing seams in knits, it will be sufficient for most purposes.
