3-Thread Flatlock - Baby Lock Acclaim BLES4 Instruction And Reference Manual

3-Thread Flatlock

Flatlock seams are most suited to fabrics which do not ravel
such as interlock knits, tricot, sweatshirt fleece and
synthetic suede. The needle thread is carried below the
fabric and to the cut edge of the fabric. The lower looper
thread rides along the cut edge of the fabric for stability. The
edges pull open and flatten within the stitch for a non-bulky
join. Be sure to sew a test sample first to determine whether
the stitch will have the strength to hold the seam without the
fabric pulling away.
Move the stitch selector lever to "D".
For the right needle 3-thread flatlock, follow the suggested
