Sewing

Flatlock – Double Action Stitch
Flatlock or Double Action stitch
, is suitable for sewing overlapped
seams and decorative hems.
You can produce a decorative hem by fold-
ing a single hem to the wrong side and
sewing the fl atlock from the right side.
Trim excess hem to stitching from the wrong
side.
To sew an overlapped seam, lap one piece
of fabric over the other piece and sew fl at-
lock stitch over the fabric edge on the right
side.
Trim from the wrong side or sew another
seam from the right side.
When gathering with narrow, fl at elastic or
elastic cord, use the double-action stitch.
To be sure the elastic does not get stitched
in but can run freely, use presser fot A or B
and slip narrow elastic between the toes of
the foot.
