Securing the seam end

Page 54 highlights

Securing the seam end Since the seams formed by cover stitch unravel when the looper thread is pulled out at the end of sewing, secure the seam end in the following manner. When sewing through to the edge of fabric, among the threads coming out of the fabric edge, knot the needle threads (2 or 3 threads) together first, as shown on the illustration. Then, tie these threads with the looper threads. When sewing is stopped halfway, pull out the needle threads (2 or 3 threads) on the underside of the fabric and knot the threads in the same manner as described above. Cut extra threads. Note: Normally, the seams at the start of sewing do not unravel, but it is safe to secure the seam end following the same steps as described when sewing through to the edge of fabric. 53

Since the seams formed by cover stitch unravel when the
looper thread is pulled out at the end of sewing, secure the
seam end in the following manner.
When sewing through to the edge of fabric, among
the threads coming out of the fabric edge, knot the
needle threads (2 or 3 threads) together first, as shown
on the illustration. Then, tie these threads with the
looper threads.
When sewing is stopped halfway, pull out the needle
threads (2 or 3 threads) on the underside of the fabric and
knot the threads in the same manner as described
above.
Cut extra threads.
Note: Normally, the seams at the start of sewing do
not unravel, but it is safe to secure the seam
end following the same steps as described
when sewing through to the edge of fabric.
