Securing thread ends at the beginning and end
of sewing
Overlock stitches can unravel if the threads are not secured
at the beginning and end of sewing. Secure the thread ends.
Securing thread ends with the overlock machine
1) Securing thread ends at the beginning of sewing
1. Pull out chain-off thread produced at the beginning of sew-
ing by 3 to 4 cm.
2. Sew the material by two or three stitches.
3. Lower the needle and raise the presser foot.
4. Stretch the chain-off thread to put it between the presser
foot and the material from the left side.
5. Lower the presser foot and sew the chain-off thread on the
material.
* If you do not sew the chain-off thread on the material, pro-
duce a longer chainoff thread at the beginning and end of
sewing. Then, make a knot of the chainoff thread or put the
chain-off thread under the seam with a wool needle.
* When stitches cross each other, chain-off thread is auto-
matically secured.
2) Securing thread ends at the end of sewing
1. Stop the needle at the end of material.
2. Lift the needle.
3. Raise the presser foot.
4. Turn the material upside down. Lower the needle so that it
enters the outside edge of finished seam.
5. Lower the presser foot.
6. Carry out sewing to produce chain-off thread by 2 to 3 cm
taking care not to allow the finished seam to come in con-
tact with the upper knife. Remove the material.
7. Secure the chain-off thread.
