Triple Cover Hem - Topstitching An Overlock Seam - Janome 1200D Instruction Book

Triple Cover Hem – Topstitching an Overlock
Seam
The Triple Cover Hem flattens the overlock seam
eliminating excess bulk and allows maximum stretch
and comfort. The topstitching is quick and attractive.
Sew ribbing to the fabric using a 3 Thread Wide or
Safety 4 Thread stitch. Set up the machine for the
Triple Cover Hem. The seam may be positioned either
towards the ribbing or towards the garment fabric.
Topstitch by allowing the center needle to "stitch in the
ditch". The outer needles will topstitch on the fabric and
on the ribbing in one step.
NOTE:
It is acceptable to use the Cover Hem Wide for
topstitching an overlock seam. The chain looper thread
should be tightened to keep the overlock seam as flat
as possible. When the looper thread is tightened, the
fabric may pucker and the capacity of stretch is
decreased.
