Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 1-touch air-threading system work on the Amber Air S 400? Simply route your looper thread into the designated threading port on the machine deck and push the air-thread lever. A burst of air shoots the thread directly through the upper or lower looper tube in less than a second, eliminating the need to manually thread loopers using tweezers.
Can I sew delicate rolled hems without changing the needle plate? Yes. The machine features a built-in rolled hem lever on the stitch plate deck. Simply slide the lever to switch from standard overlock serging to narrow rolled hemming without removing the needle plate or presser foot.
What is the benefit of the adjustable differential feed? The differential feed uses two sets of feed dogs moving at independent speeds. Increasing the differential ratio prevents stretchy knits and jersey fabrics from stretching out into wavy seams, while decreasing it prevents fine woven fabrics like chiffon or satin from puckering.
