Practical overlocking
Securing overlock stitches
> Sew a thread chain of about 10 cm beyond the end of the seam.
> Pull the thread chain end through the looper threads using a loop flip or a tapestry needle.
Knotting the overlock chain
> Tie the thread chain at the seam end, close to the fabric.
10.2 Undoing overlock stitches
The thread loops of the looper and needle threads can be undone easily.
> Pull the right overlock needle thread (RN) out of the thread chain with tweezers, starting from the seam
end.
> Pull the needle thread out of the seam.
> With very long seams, cut the thread in the stitch and remove it step by step.
