it's the 3 thread overlock with the right hand needle. pearl crown in the upper and lower loopers, regular thread in the needle.
have fun! Threading the serger is duanting at first but you get used to it. Singer has a good serger book with pictures of the tension problems so you can compare and figure out what tension to change. this is the hardest part of using a serger - conquering the tension. (I mean on the serger - your own is another story!)

Hi twisted, I just made my own pattern out of newspaper. the table is 5 feet diameter so made it to fit the table top. Start with an octagon in the center.

Ok, thanks for the information! It's a great idea, I love the shape!

Thanks lots! Yeah I have the threading down pat. But I have not worked a lot on sewing with the serger yet so thanks for the heads up on the tension. At least when I have problems I will know it is normal. I really like the edges on the table stuff you did, so I am going to give it a try. Again Thanks!

VERY NICE SET, LUCKY FRIEND TO GET THEM :thumbup:
