Overlock stitches
For elastic, knits and stretch fabrics, your sewing machine 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.
Closed overlock stitch - No 31
When sewing fabrics that fray easily select stitch 31. With this stitch an
additional edge thread protects the fabric edge against further fraying.
Closed overlock stitch - No 36
This stitch is suitable for sewing a hem on your garment. Use foot no.
0 or 3.
Fold your fabric 3/8” (1 cm) and stitch the closed overlock on the
right side of the folded fabric. When you have fi nished, cut away the
unnecessary fabric.
Stretch knit overlock stitch - No 37
This stitch can be used for open-knit and heavy knit fabrics. Garment
seams can be joined effortlessly with this stitch.
Tip: Use Blindhem 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.
Overlock stitch - No 38
The overlock stitch no. 38 can be used for joining or edge- fi nishing
fabrics that do not fray excessively.
