Inside Corners
OPTION I
This technique works well for continuous plackets on sleeves and back
neck openings.
Cut an inside corner into the fabric. Snip into the corner ¼” (the width
of the stitching). Serge until the knife reaches the end of the cut.
Use the handwheel to lower the needle into the fabric. Lift the presser
foot and straighten the corner towards you. Lower the presser foot and
continue serging.
O
PTION II
Rotate the upper knife up.
Cut an inside corner into the fabric. Line up the left edge of the cut with
the lower knife blade. Keep the edge of the fabric even with the lower
knife blade as you stitch.
Serge for a few stitches. Turn the handwheel to lower the needle into
the fabric. Fold the right side of the corner towards you at about a 45°
angle. Serge one stitch beyond the cut edge. Turn the handwheel to
lower the needle into the fabric.
Lift the presser foot. Fold the serged edge down and to the left, angling
the serged edge about 45°. Pivot the fabric until the raw edge is even
with the lower knife blade.
Lower the presser foot and continue stitching. Use the thread cutter to
cut the thread chain at the end of the seam. (the upper knife is still
disengaged).
Return the upper knife to cutting position.
