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.
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.
–
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.
