==Description==

==Description==

Sergers preform a type of stitch known as overlock stitching. An overlock stitch is a type of stitching that sews over the edge of one or more pieces of fabric. Sergers also have the ability to cut off the excess edge as it is fed through the machine. This type of stitching is useful for edging, hemming, and seaming. This process will create a clean edge of your fabric that will not fray.

Sergers also have the ability to trim the excess seam allowance as it is fed through the machine. This type of stitching is useful for edging, hemming, and seaming. This process will create a clean edge of your fabric that will not fray.

The Janome MyLock 634D features 2 needles and a choice of 2, 3, or 4 thread overlocking stitching. The color-coded thread guiding makes threading simple and easy to follow. The MyLock 634D allows the user to easily switch from overlock stitching to rolled hemming without needing to change to needle plate. Some of the key features of the MyLock 634D are a tension release device, easily accessible lower looper guides, changeable thread guide, easily retractable upper knife, adjustable foot pressure, and more.

====General Procedure====

Insert general procedure here.

The Janome MyLock 634D is a multi-thread serger designed for overlocking, trimming, and finishing fabric edges in one step. To operate, start by threading the machine in the correct sequence (upper looper, lower looper, right needle, left needle), following the color-coded guides. Select the desired stitch type and adjust tension dials, stitch length, and differential feed settings based on fabric type. Place fabric under the presser foot, lower the foot lever, and gently guide the material while the machine trims and serges the edge. For best results, maintain a consistent feed and avoid pulling the fabric. Always test on a scrap piece before sewing the final garment.

If are having issues ask the supervisor.

You may look in the user manual for troubleshooting instructions. But, if you are not confident in what you are doing, ask a supervisor for assistance.

==Maintenance==

====General maintenance====

====General maintenance====

Keep the saw clean and use the dust collector. There are several lubrication points on the saw that need to be checked by the tech.

Open the covers and use a lint brush to clean out the lint. Do not try to blow the lint away; you will drive it deeper into the machine.
