Flatlock Fringe - Singer QuantumLock 14T957DC Workbook

Flatlock Fringe Hem with Three-Thread Overlock Stitch
The Flatlock Fringe technique creates a beautiful finish on loosely woven
fabrics, such as those used for scarves and hems. The Flatlock stitch cre-
ates a trim-like finish that is not only decorative, but secures the fringing.
Example:
A fringed hem on a Celtic wool skirt.
Directions:
Set for the Three-Thread Overlock, placing a decorative thread in the
upper looper. Pull 1 or 2 threads to establish straight grain, approximately 1 inch from the
fabric's raw edge. Fold the fabric, wrong sides together, on the "pulled" or drawn thread
line. Guide the fabric so that the stitch slightly falls over the fabric's fold. Pull fabric to
open the seam flat. Use a Tapestry needle to bring the beginning and ending thread tails
to the fabric's backside. Tie off and then secure with a liquid fray-preventer.
Pull the remaining fabric threads up to the stitching line to create fringe.
