Janome 1100D Professional manual Back-Tack Device

Back-Tack Device

The back-tack device allows you to secure a seam at the beginning by encasing a thread chain into the seam. The device may be used when sewing these stitches: Safety 4-Thread, Stretch Knit, Overlock 3, 3-Thread Wide, Overcast 2, Overcast 2 Wide and Stretch Wrapped.

Raise the presser foot and gently remove the thread chain from the chaining finger. Pull the thread chain to the back and then around to the front. Secure the threads into the back-tack device.

Place the fabric directly in front of the needle(s). It may be necessary to hand trim the first 3 cm (1”) along the seam line. Lower the presser foot and sew. The thread chain is automatically encased into the seam on the underside of the fabric.

The back-tack device cannot be used for the Blanket stitch or Rolled/Narrow Hems.
