i make emblems
I don't think you can sew into a corner with a Merrow MG-3U. I wish you could.
Some people will use their embroidery machines to finish the inside tight corners.
I love my Merrow machines, I have 4 and I don't even sew. I have played with and modified, sorry Charlie, an old A-3DW to sew a perfect merrow edge. The key is the thread, and some minor mods to the machine, but corners, like playing at Carnegie Hall, take practice, practice, practice. I also do emblems and I have not gone to the expense of an MG-3U because I frankly can't afford it for the volume of business that I do. I use pre made emblems that have that nice Merrow edge already in place. I don't seem to have enough Korean or Chinese, or whatever it takes, in me to negotiate those corners and I get tense getting my fingers that close to a needle moving at the speed of sound. Pre-made emblems have limitations but for standard sizes they can't be beat. Check out my website. www.patchthing.com.

i need buy thread for the merrow to overlock mg3u but in spain don´t find, please help me

my web site is www.emblemasmilitares.es

I think I figured it out. I start with about a 4-6"  chain. I start sewing with the edge under the needle. No cutter,(the material is precut and fixed to a freely rotating platform) When it comes around to the end I make sure I pull the…
