Practical Sewing Chainstitch
Securing the seam end
Secure the seam end by pulling the looper thread loop open (1).
If the looper thread is subsequently pulled upwards, the needle
thread (2) appears and can be pulled through to the wrong side
and knotted.
Note:
The seam begin is secured because the first stitch is automati
-
cally knotted by the subsequent stitches.
Unpicking seams
The chainstitch formation can be unpicked from the seam end
by pulling the looper thread (3). The needle thread can then be
removed from the right side.
Extension plate with seam guide lines
The seam guide lines on the extension plate are a valuable aid
for sewing seams along a fabric edge and for parallel lines of
topstitching.
