Overlock
stitches
For
elastic,
knits
and
stretch fabrics,
your
Expression
provides
a
selection
of
overlock
stitches.
These
stitches
join
multiple
layers of
fabric
and
overcast them
in
one
operation. These
stitches have
built-in
stretch
and
are
more
durable
than
standard
stitches.
Tip:
Use
blind

when
sewing
overlock
seams.

more
precisely
and
prevents
tunneling

the
seam
at
wider
stitch
widths.
Adjust
the
stitch
width
and
guide
of
the
foot
to
ensure
that
the
right-hand
swing
of
the
needle
clears
the
raw
edge
of
the
fabric
and
the
pin
of
the
presser
foot.
