Utility stitches and practical sewing What is an overlock stitch? For elastic and knitted materials, the hobby models 1032 and 1042 offer overlock stitches which sew two fabric layers together and serge simultaneously. They are more elastic than normal seams, very durable and easy and fast to sew. Tip: We recommend using blind stitch foot no. 3 when sewing overlock seams. It guides particularly well and prevents the seam puckering even on wide seams. Stitch J stretch (models 1032 and 1042) Closed overlock stitch With this stitch you can sew jersey fabrics perfectly. You can also sew on sleeve cuffs and knit collars. Tip: Ensure that the sleeve cuff is stretched while it is being sewn. Stitch H stretch (models 1032 and 1042) Open overlock stitch With this stitch, thicker materials and fabrics which do not fray strongly can be sewn together perfectly. Tip: Ensure that the needle sews the right hand stitch just next to the material and not in it. 32

What is an overlock stitch?
For elastic and knitted materials, the
hobby models 1032 and 1042 offer over-
lock stitches which sew two fabric layers
together and serge simultaneously. They
are more elastic than normal seams, very
durable and easy and fast to sew.
Tip:
We recommend using blind stitch
foot no. 3 when sewing overlock seams.
It guides particularly well and prevents
the seam puckering even on wide
seams.
Stitch H stretch
(models 1032 and 1042)
Open overlock stitch
With this stitch, thicker materials and
fabrics which do not fray strongly can be
sewn together perfectly.
Tip:
Ensure that the needle sews the
right hand stitch just next to the mate-
rial and not in it.
Stitch J stretch
(models 1032 and 1042)
Closed overlock stitch
With this stitch you can sew jersey fabrics
perfectly. You can also sew on sleeve
cuffs and knit collars.
Tip:
Ensure that the sleeve cuff is
stretched while it is being sewn.
