Double Overlock Stitch - Singer 7256 Instruction Manual

RIC-RAC STITCH
The Ric-rac stitch is primarily used for a decorative topstitch. It
is ideal for edging neck-bands, armholes, sleeves and hems.
When manually adjusted to a very narrow width, it also can be
used for sewing high stress seams.

DOUBLE OVERLOCK STITCH

The Double overlock stitch has three main uses. It is perfect
for attaching flat elastic, for overcasting, and for seaming and
overcasting in one operation. It is primarily used on slightly
stretch fabrics and non-stretch fabrics such as linen, tweed,
and medium to heavy-weight cotton.
CRISS-CROSS STITCH
Used primarily for decorative machine stitching.
ENTREDEUX STITCH
Useful for decorative stitching on borders and for use in
heirloom sewing. The Entredeux stitch is most often sewn with
a Wing Needle (SINGER Style 2040) to create holes in the
stitch pattern.
Helpful Hint: A slight + adjustment of the tension will
increase the size of the hole when using a Wing Needle.
