Good evening ladies and gents.

I want to premise this post by saying that I've never owned an overlocker.

I recently purchased this Rimoldi overlocker; stupidly I didn't know to tie the threads to new threads before cleaning everything so I've had to pain-stakingly figure out threading the thing (there is no threading diagram ANYWHERE in any of the manuals, no YouTube tutorials, nothing).

Could you tell me if this looks like a relatively correct overlocker stitch?

Pic 1: 1st attempt Hand Turning - Looks loose to me(?)

Pic 2: 2nd attempt Hand Turning - Looks better, more uniform?

ALSO: Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Good evening ladies and gents.

I want to premise this post by saying that I've never owned an overlocker; I buy, service and re-sell Sewing Machines from Facebook Marketplace.
