Flatlock – Double Action
Stitch, model 370
Flatlock or Double Action stitch
,
is suitable for sewing overlapped seams and deco-
rative hems.
You can produce a decorative hem by folding a
single hem to the wrong side and sewing the
fl
at-
lock from the right side.
Trim excess hem to stitching from the wrong side.
To sew an overlapped seam, lap one piece of
fabric over the other piece and sew
fl
atlock stitch
over the fabric edge on the right side.
Trim from the wrong side or sew another seam
from the right side.
When gathering with narrow,
fl
at elastic or elastic
cord, use the double-action stitch. To be sure the
elastic does not get stitched in but can run freely,
use presser fot A or B and slip narrow elastic
between the toes of the foot.
