Flatlock "Topstitching"

The flatlock stitch need not be limited at seamlines.
When sewn on a fold, flatlocking can create attractive dec-
orative effects within the body of a garment or project.
Either follow placement lines on your pattern or design your
own special effects by stitching the fabric before laying out
pattern pieces.
1. Set the machine for 2-thread flatlock - wide.
2. Turn the cutting blade lock switch clockwise to
disengage the upper cutting blade.
3. Set the stitch length to desired setting.
4. Fold the fabric (right side or wrong side out, depending
on the loop or ladder stitch you want to show) along
stitch placement lines.
5. Position the fabric under the presser foot, aligning the
fold of the fabric 1/8 inch (3.5mm) to the left of the upper
cutting blade (fig A).
6. Stitch to the desired ending point.
7. Clear the stitch fingers and chain off the fabric (fig B).
8. Clip threads, leaving a 3-4 inch (7.5-10cm) chain.
9. Gently pull the fabric to flatten the stitches (fig C).
10.Separate the chain threads and thread them through a
needle and pull them to the fabric back side. If neces-
sary, tie a knot to secure the threads (fig D).
Note: If the fabric does not pull completely flat under the
stitches, guide the fabric fold to the left so that the loops
hang slightly off the fold as they are being stitched.
