Utility stitches and practical sewing
What is a covering stitch?
You can use the following stitches for sewing a
fl at covering seam. This produces a so called
“fl atlock effect” which lends a professional look
to collar plackets or raglan seams.
The covering stitches are only available on
select 1540.
Feather stitch (Model 1540)
With the feather stitch you can sew highly
elastic materials with an effect similar to that of
hem stitching, e.g. lingerie.
• Serge the fabric edges and baste them
over.
• Lay the edges to be sewn underneath the
pressing foot with a distance between the
edges of about 3 mm.
• Stitch from the face side, ensuring that the
needle perforates the material both right
and left.
