Closed Overlock Stitch; Blind Hems - Husqvarna VIKING Onyx 15 User Manual

CLOSED OVERLOCK STITCH

The closed overlock stitch can be used for sewing medium to
heavier weight stretch fabrics.
Use this stitch to hem stretch fabrics (A) and for belt loops
(B). Fold a hem to the wrong side and stitch with closed over-
lock stitch from the right side. Trim away excess fabric.

BLIND HEMS

The blind hem stitch is used to make invisible hems on skirts,
trousers and home décor projects. There are two types of
blind hem; one is recommended for medium to heavy woven
fabric (1), the other for medium to heavy stretch fabric (2).
• Fold the fabric as illustrated. Make sure the folded edge
of the fabric follows the inside of the right "toe" of Blind
Hem Foot D.
• Lower the presser foot and step on the foot control.
• The left swing of the needle should just catch the edge of
the folded fabric.
• If neccessary, adjust the stitch width as needed to barely
"catch" the fold.
Note: The blind hem technique is not recommended for light weight fabric.
