This Overlock Stitch is a stretch stitch, but it can be used on stretch fabrics and non-stretch fabrics (wovens) as well. It sews a seam and a seam finish, all at the same time. Sew the stitch with the left side on the seam line of your project. Trim excess seam allowance when finished sewing. Use this stitch to embellish your sewing projects with a single row, multiple rows, or even in combination with other decorative stitches. Experiment with various types of thread such as rayon thread, all-purpose thread, metallic thread, topstitching thread, or even 30wt and 12wt cotton. Use a needle that is appropriate for the type of thread you are using. It is also helpful to use a stabilizer to help support the stitches. Learn more about needles and stabilizer on the SINGER website. This stitch can be used to reinforce seams of stretch fabrics. The stitch is stronger than a regular straight stitch becuase it sews the same stitch three times - forward, backward and forward again. Because the stitch stretches, it's a good choice for seams on medium to heavy weight stretch fabrics. The stitch will stretch with the fabric when the fabric is stretched. Use a Ball Point needle to prevent skipped stitches on stretch fabrics. Learn more about needles on the SINGER website.
