BULKY OVERLOCK FOOT #12/12C
Fabric:
Needle:
Thread:
Presser Foot:
• Neaten one long edge and two short sides of sample fabric before beginning.
• Select straight stitch #1.
• Adjust the stitch length to 5mm.
• Lower the presser foot onto the fabric. Notice that the bottom of the right toe of the foot sits on the
feed dog and the left one does not.
Note: Bulky Overlock Foot #12/12C, combined with a long stitch length, creates wonderful, even
gathers. Foot #12 was originally designed for seaming knits, with the uneven sole of the foot
accommodating thick hand- and machine-knit sweater fabrics. When used to gather fine
fabrics, the right toe holds the fabric against the feed dog, helping it feed evenly and preventing
it from being drawn into the opening in the stitch place. The gathered fabric has room to slide
under the foot, passing under the left toe and through the deep groove in the sole of the foot.
• Stitch; the fabric will gather as is passes under the foot.
• Even out the gathers and mount the sample.
