Flat joining seam
· fabric edges are overlapped and the stitch is placed on
the seam allowance
· produces a very flat, durable seam
· ideal for fluffy, thick materials such as terry cloth, felt
and leather
Sewing
· sew stretch overlock along the fabric edge
· the stitch should go over the edge of the top layer of
fabric on the right swing of the needle
TIPS
Fabric and thread
· use a matching thread colour, for less visibility in fluffy
fabrics
Thick seam
· particularly suitable for fabrics in which a normal
straight stitch seam would stretch open
TIP
Prevent stretching
· to prevent the stretching of the seam while being sewn,
reduce the presser foot pressure to suit the fabric
