Overlock stitches
For elastic, knits, woven and stretch fabrics, your expression 2026 provides a selection of overlock stitches. These stitches
join multiple layers of fabric and overcast them in one operation. These stitches can stretch and are more durable than
standard stitches.
Tip: Use blind stitch foot No. 3 when sewing overcast seams. This guides the fabric more precisely and prevents tunneling of the seam at
wider stitch widths. Adjust the stitch width and guide of the foot to ensure that the right swing of the needle clears the raw edge of
the fabric and the pin of the presser foot.
