Securing the seam end
–
Since the seams formed by coverstitch unravel
when the looper thread is pulled out at the end
of sewing, secure the seam end in the following
manner.
PLEASE NOTE:
Normally, the seams at the start of sewing do
not unravel, but it is safe to secure the seam
end following the same steps as described
when sewing through to the edge of fabric.
–
When sewing through to the edge of fabric,
among the threads coming out of the fabric
edge, knot the needle threads (2- or 3-Threads)
together first, as shown on the left illustration.
Then, tie these threads with the looper threads.
–
When sewing is stopped halfway, pull out the
needle threads (2- or 3-Threads) on the
underside of the fabric and knot the threads in
the same manner as described above.
–
Cut extra threads.
