These stitches are used to join together seams and finish them in one operation. Elastic Overlock Stitch: for sewing stretch materials.

1Put the fabric under the presser foot so that the seamline (or arrowhead point) is approximately 3 mm (1/8 inch) to the left of the center of the presser foot.

This stitch works best with a seam allowance of approximately 5 mm (3/16 inch) as this allows the right (zigzag) side of the stitch to overlock the cut edge of the fabric.

•If the seam allowance is wider than the stitch pattern, trim away any excess fabric after stitching.

Memo
