To make your project more secure and clean, it is also highly recommended to overlock.

How to overlock with the HZL-DX5 sewing machine:

Overcasting is a technique used in sewing to finish and protect the edges of a fabric to prevent fraying. When you cut a fabric, the threads in it can easily come undone, which can damage the fabric and make your creations look untidy. Overcasting involves sewing a line of tight stitches along the edge of the fabric to reinforce it and prevent the threads from coming loose.

Adjusting the overlock is very simple but first you need to replace your standard presser foot with the overlock presser foot which is indicated by a C.

First, you will press the " 123 " key to select the program in question, then " ok " to move on to the next step.

Type in the number of the desired overcasting stitch, which is indicated under the top cover of the machine, and then press " OK ". You can only select stitches from 07 to 11, as these are overcasting stitches.

And there you have it! Place your fabric, lower the presser foot, step on your foot pedal, and let your machine sew the seam. Feel free to press the heel of your foot pedal to use the thread cutter function.

Here is the result you will get with overcasting #8:
