Decorative Flatlocking - Singer 14T968 Instruction Manual

(3) Decorative Flatlocking

Place the movable upper knife in the nonworking
position (page 35). The fabric is not trimmed on
this stitch.
Fold fabric wrong sides together.
Position the fabric so the seam is sewn with part
of the stitch extending off the fabric.
Pull on opposite sides of the stitch to flatten.
(4) Additional Information About Flatlocking
The tensions must be correctly fine tuned for the
fabric to pull flat.
The upper looper thread is the prominent thread
in the flatlock stitch. Place a decorative thread
in the upper looper and inconspicuous threads
in the lower looper and needle.
For a ladder stitch, sew seam with right sides
together. The needle thread will be the prominent
thread that creates the ladder (A).
