Comb Stitch

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.

• If the seam allowance is wider than the stitch

pattern, trim away any excess fabric after 3 stitching.

Memo

●When sewing the Elastic Overlock Stitch, position the fabric so that its edge is on the left of the needle.
