Utility stitches
Overlock stitch
The open overlock stitch works well when joining or edge-
À
nishing fabrics that do not fray excessively.
Closed overlock stitch
This stitch is suitable for sewing a hem on your garment.
Fold your fabric 3/8” (1 cm) and stitch the closed overlock
on the right side of the folded fabric. When you have
À
nished, cut away the unne cessary fabric.

Closed overlock stitch with selvage thread
If you wish to sew a fabric that frays easily, select stitch 21.
With this stitch an additional edge thread protects the fabric
edge against further fraying.

Overlock stitches
For elastic, knits, woven and stretch fabrics, your expression 2026 provides a selection of overlock stitches. These stitches
join multiple layers of fabric and overcast them in one operation. These stitches can stretch and are more durable than
standard stitches.
Tip
: Use blind stitch foot No. 3 when sewing overcast seams. This guides the fabric more precisely and prevents tunneling of the seam at
wider stitch widths. Adjust the stitch width and guide of the foot to ensure that the right swing of the needle clears the raw edge of
the fabric and the pin of the presser foot.
