Sewing in the thread chain –
seam end
· Sew to the end of the seam.
· Raise the needles (Needle stop down).
· Raise the presser foot.
· Remove work carefully towards the back.
· Turn work over and towards you and lay it under the presser
foot so that the needle enters the fabric with the first stitch.
· Lower the presser foot.
· Sew carefully over the previous stitching without cutting for
about 2–3 cm (1").
· Raise the tip of the foot and turn work away from you.
· Stitch off the edge (see 3, 4).
Securing thread chains
Leave a 12 cm / 5" chain at the beginning and at the end of
the seam so that it can be knotted or pulled through the
first/last few stitches with a darning needle (see 5).
Sewing curves
Overlocking outside and inside curves is easy. As the fabric
is first cut and then sewn, it is important to watch the
knives and not the needles. Guide the fabric as straight as
possible towards the knife. Avoid letting the fabric slip
between the knives and needles (see 6).
