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.
This stitch works best with a seam allowance
of approximately 5 mm (3/16 inch) as this
allows the right (zigzag) side of the stitch to
overlock the cut edge of the fabric.
1 5 mm (3/16 inch)
2 3 mm (1/8 inch)
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.
