Sew a 2-thread flatlock seam then pull the two fabric layers
apart until the seam lies flat. (fig. A)
Because the threads show on the outside as well as the inside
of the garment or project, the flatlock seam is often considered
a decorative application. (fig. B)
For 2-thread flatlock - narrow
1. Engage the threading lever in the threading position.
2. Place needle thread on right needle spool pin.
3. Thread needle thread through the upper looper pretension
thread guide on top of the machine, then go down the thread
path in the front of the machine. Go left with the needle thread
at the hook on front of the machine. Then take the needle
thread through the normal needle thread paths. (illustration
below). Thread the right needle for a narrow flatlock.
4. Turn the cutting blade to the "LOCK" position .
5. Engage the subsidiary looper following step 3 on page 33.
6.Thread the lower looper as shown in the illustration below.
7. Engage the threading lever in the serging position.
Before serging, decide which stitch pattern you want to have on
the outside of the garment.
For "loops" (lower looper thread) to show, place fabric wrong
sides together for sewing the seam. (fig. C)
To produce the "ladder" (needle thread) on the outside, place
the fabric right sides together. (fig. D)
Move the stitch selector lever to "B" and follow the suggested
settings and the threading diagram below.
