Securing Ends

To avoid unravelling, it is necessary to leave a thread
chain about 5 cm (2˝) long at the beginning and at
the end of a seam. To secure the beginning and end
of a seam choose one of the following methods.
A. Separate the end of the threads and knot them.
B. Thread the chain through a large eyed needle,
and weave the chain through the overlock
stitches on the fabric.
C. Cut the chain at the edge of the fabric. Then
apply a small amount of seam sealant on the
end of the threads.
You can secure the end of a seam also by the meth-
ods as follows:
At the beginning of a seam
1. Before putting your fabric in the machine, sew
a thread chain about 5 cm (2˝) long behind the
needle.
2. Put your fabric on the machine. Then serge a
few stitches and stop.
3. Raise the presser foot and bring the thread
chain to the left, around and under the presser
foot.
4. Place the thread chain between the presser foot
and upper knife, holding it in position as you
lower the presser foot to sew.
5. After sewing about 2.5 cm (1˝), move the chain
to the right and under the upper knife, cutting
the chain as you sew.
At the end of a seam
z Sew one stitch off the end of a seam.
x Raise the needle and presser foot, and gently
pull the threads off the chaining finger.
c Turn the fabric over so that the under side is up.
v Sew about 2.5 cm (1˝) over stitching and angle
off the fabric.
