What is an overlock stitch? For stretch fabrics, the select models offer overlock stitches which sew two fabric layers together and overcast simultaneously. They are more elastic than normal seams, very durable and quickly sewn. Tip: We recommend using blindhem stitch foot No. 3 when sewing overlock seams. It guides particularly well and prevents the seam from puckering even on wide seams. Also remember to set the red marker on the foot to the right position. This to guide the fabric edge. stitch stitch Utility stitches and practical sewing K 5K 5K 5- Stretch Stretch Stretch 3-5 0/3 3-5 0/3 3-5 0/3 I 5- Stretch I 5- Stretch I 5- Stretch 3-5 0/3 3-5 0/3 3-5 0/3 Closed overlock stitch 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. Remember! When overlocking, if you select stitch width other than 5 , make sure the needle does not strike the bar of sewing foot 3. Open overlock stitch With this stitch, thicker fabrics and fabrics which do not fray too much can be sewn together perfectly. Tip: Make sure that the needle sews to the right of the fabric just over the edge and not in it. 2:7
