Utility stitches and practical sewing
What is an overlock stitch?
For stretch fabrics, the select models
offer overlock stitches which sew two
fabric layers together and overcast
simultaneously. They are more elastic
than normal seams, very durable and
quickly sewn.
Tip: We recommend using blindhem stitch
foot No. 3 when sewing overlock seams. It
guides particularly well and prevents the
seam from puckering even on wide seams.
Open overlock stitch
With this stitch, thicker fabrics and fabrics
which do not fray too much can be sewn
together perfectly.
TIP: Make sure that the needle sews to the
right of the fabric just over the edge and not
in it.
