For elastic materials and knits, the select models offer overlock stitches which sew two fabric layers together and overcast simultaneously.

Utility stitches and practical sewing
What is an overlock stitch?
For elastic materials and knits, the select
models offer overlock stitches which sew
two fabric layers together and overcast
simultaneously. They are more elastic than
normal seams, very durable and quickly sewn.
Tip:
We recommend using blind stitch foot
No. 3 when sewing overlock seams. It guides
particularly well and prevents the seam from
puckering even on wide seams.
Open overlock stitch
With this stitch, thicker
materials and fabrics
which do not fray too much can be sewn
together perfectly.
TIP:
Make sure that the needle sews to the
right of the material just over the edge and not
in it.
