Seam
Seams are at least two layers of fabric, which are usually placed right side on right side and then sewn
together. There are two different types of seams.
• Closed Seams
• Flat Seams
Closed Seam
For closed seams 3-Thread or 4-Thread Overlock Stitches are suitable, because they loop around both fabric
edges and sew them together. These stitches are mainly chosen for garments made of knitted fabrics and for
wide cut garments made of woven fabrics.

Flatlock for Flat Seams
The flatlock forms loops on the upper side of the seam and stitches on the underside.
> Thread and set the machine for 2- or 3-Thread Flatlock.
> Sew two layers of fabric together (wrong side on wrong side).
> Carefully separate the two layers of fabric.
– The two fabric edges now lie flat on top of each other at the stitch width of the flatlock.
