Flatlock sewing A Áatlock stitch is made by sewing the seam and pulling the fabric apart to Áatten the seam. The Áatlock stitch can be used both as a decorative construction stitch, sewing two pieces together (Standard Áatlock stitch), or for embellishment on only one piece of fabric (Ornamental Áatlock stitch). There are two ways to sew a Áatlock stitch. Either with the wrong sides of the fabric together to create a decorative look, or with the right sides together, to create a ladder stitch. Standard Áatlock stitch • Use the left or the right needle. • For 2-thread Áatlock: Engage the 2-thread converter (see page 10). Thread the lower looper and the left (A) or right (B) needle. For 3-thread Áatlock: Thread the lower and upper looper and the left (A) or right (B) needle. • Place the wrong sides of the two pieces of fabric together to sew a decorative stitch on the right side of the garment. • Sew the seam, trimming the excess fabric. The needle thread will form a V on the underside of the fabric. The lower looper thread will pull into a straight line at the fabric edge. • Unfold the fabric and pull on opposite sides of the seam to pull the stitches Áat. Standard Áatlock stitch Ornamental Áatlock stitch Ornamental Áatlock stitch • Disengage the movable upper cutter (see page 10). The fabric should not be trimmed on this stitch. • Follow steps 1-3 above. • Fold the fabric piece, wrong sides together, to sew a decorative stitch from the right side of the garment (at the fold). • Position the fabric so the seam is sewn with part of the stitch extending off the fabric. • Unfold the fabric and pull on opposite sides of the stitch to Áatten. Tip: The upper looper thread is the prominent thread in the Áatlock stitch. Place a decorative thread in the upper looper and regular threads in the lower looper and needle. Ladder stitch To create a ladder stitch, sew with right sides of the fabric together.
