Utility stitches and practical sewing
Overlock stitch
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. Also remember
to set the red marker on the foot to the right
position. This to guide the fabric edge.
Open overlock stitch (K)
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.

Tip: Ensure that the sleeve cuff is stretched
while it is being sewn.
