Flatlock Couching - Singer QuantumLock 14T957DC Workbook

Flatlock Couching with Three-Thread Overlock Stitch
Interesting textures can be applied to fabrics by using various yarns, cords
or narrow trims in conjunction with the Flatlocking stitch. These
wonderfully rich embellishments can be seen in wearable art and other
projects.
Example:
Applying Chenille-type yarn to enhance a ladies' sweater.
Directions:
Set for the Three-Thread Overlock, placing monofilament thread in the
needle. Fold fabric lengthwise, right sides together, with decorative trim or yarn
the fold. Guide the fabric so that the stitches slightly fall off the fabric's fold, then pull
fabric to open the seam flat. Sew several rows to create a textured embellishment.
