What is an overlock stitch?

For elastic materials and knits, the hobby
1132 offers an overlock stitch which sews
two fabric layers together and overcasts
simultaneously. It is more elastic than
normal seams, very durable and quickly
sewn.

Open overlock stitch (only at 1132)

With this stitch, thicker materials and
fabrics which do not fray too much can be
sewn together perfectly.
This stitch seams and nishes the fabric
edges simultaneously.
Place the edge of the fabric next to the
guide of foot and sew while guiding the
fabric edge along the guide.
Tip: Make sure that the needle is just off the
raw edge of the fabric and not into it, when
the needle swings to the right.

Closed overlock stitch (only at 1132)

The closed overlock stitch is perfect for
sewing jersey knits. You can also sew
sleeve cuffs and knit collars which are
well-sewn and long-lasting.
Tip: Ensure that the sleeve cuff is stretched
while it is being sewn.
