The Chain Stitch and Cover Stitch can easily be removed. Trim the chain tail to edge of fabric at the "end" of
the seam and pull on the chain looper thread on underside of the fabric. This will give you the opportunity to
"Unsew" an incorrect seam very easily. To secure the chain stitch or cover stitch, at the end of the seam, bring
the needle thread(s) to the back of the fabric and tug on the needle threads to secure them. The cover stitch
needle threads may also be tied to prevent raveling of the stitch. Seam sealant can also be applied to the thread
ends.
Because the chain stitch can be easily removed, the stitch can have a multitude of sewing functions.
・For dressmakers it can be used as a fitting seam. It can easily be removed to let out the seam quickly.
・ tucks in children's clothing.
・ in wide elastic in waistbands.
