Back-Tack Device

The back-tack device allows you to secure a seam at
the beginning by encasing a thread chain into the
seam. The device may be used when sewing these
stitches: Safety 4-Thread, Stretch Knit, Overlock 3,
3-Thread Wide, Overcast 2, Overcast 2 Wide and
Stretch Wrapped.
Raise the presser foot and gently remove the thread
chain from the chaining finger. Pull the thread chain to
the back and then around to the front. Secure the
threads into the back-tack device.
q Back-tack device
Place the fabric directly in front of the needle(s). It may
be necessary to hand trim the first 3 cm (1") along the
seam line. Lower the presser foot and sew. The thread
chain is automatically encased into the seam on the
underside of the fabric.
NOTE:
The back-tack device cannot be used for the 5-Thread,
Blanket stitch, Chainstitch, Cover Hems or Rolled/
Narrow Hems.
