Overlock stitch

What is an overlock stitch?
For stretch fabrics, the select models
offer overlock stitches w hich sew tw o
fabric layers together and overcast
simultaneously. They are more elastic
than normal seams, very durable and
quickly sew n.
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
w hich do not fray too much can be sew n
together perfectly.
Tip: M ake sure that the needle sews to the
3-5 0/ 3
right of the fabric just over the edge and not
in it.
