Sew with the center of the presser foot
aligned along the center of the two pieces
of fabric.
5
After sewing is finished, remove the paper
and the basting stitches.
Overedge stitching
These stitches are used to join together seams and finish
them in one operation. Elastic Overlock Stitch: for
sewing stretch materials.
1
Put the fabric under the presser foot so
that the seamline (or arrowhead point) is
approximately 3 mm (1/8 inch) to the left
of the center of the presser foot.
• If the seam allowance is wider than the stitch
pattern, trim away any excess fabric after
stitching.
Memo
● When sewing the Elastic Overlock Stitch,
position the fabric so that its edge is on the
left of the needle.
Feather stitching
Use the Feather Stitch as a decorative top stitch when
embroidering or when hemming blankets, tablecloths,
or draperies.
1
Place the fabric right side up and sew 1 cm
(3/8 inch) from the edge of the fabric.
2
Trim close to the stitching.
The stitch will prevent the fabric from unravelling.
