• If I only want to use the three thread do I have to take the second needle out

  1 Answer

  • For three-thread work, you'll need to take one of the needles out. Removing the right needle produces wide thread overlock stitching, while removing the left needle creates three-thread narrow stitching for overlock.

• Hello, Are the presser feet snap on? And does the plate need to be changed for roll hemming?

  1 Answer

  • All the presser feet are snap-on. Keep the needle plate on as usual. For rolled hemming, remove the left-hand side needle, replace the stitch bite finger with the narrow one included in the accessories, and reduce the stitch length to approximately number 1.

• What is the difference between a Jaguar NOVAM 488 OVERLOCKER AND A JAGUAR 935D 0VERLOCKER?

  1 Answer

  • The Jaguar Novum 488 is equipped to handle both 3-thread and 4-thread overlocking, similar to the capabilities of the Jaguar 735D. However, the Jaguar 935D boasts an additional stitch option for 2-thread overlocking. It's worth noting that the most popular and commonly sold overlockers typically offer 3-thread and 4-thread functionalities, which are well-covered by both the Jaguar Novum 488 and the Jaguar 735D.

• What is the difference between the Jaguar overlocker 488 and the 489 besides the price?

  1 Answer
  • Both machines have a similar build quality and are solid products that are easy to use. They can be easily threaded with any good quality universal domestic sewing machine needles, without the need for special needles. 

     

    The four-thread stitch gives a strong seam, while the three-thread stitch is ideal for rolled hems and narrow overlock stitches. The two-thread stitch is not as strong but can be used for rolled hemming, and it may break on some stretchy fabrics. Customers mostly use the three and four-thread stitches, with the two-thread stitch being used less often.

     

    The Jaguar 489 offers two, three, and four-thread overlocking and includes a thread trimmer to cut threads at the end of overlocking. 

     

    On the other hand, the Jaguar 488 offers three and four-thread overlocking but does not include a thread trimmer.
