Securing Overlock Stitches
> Sew a thread chain of about 10cm beyond the end of the seam.
> Pull the thread chain end through the looper threads using a loop flip or a tapestry needle.
Knotting the Overlock chain
Knotting the overlock chain is the safest way to prevent the stitch from opening.
> Tie thread chain at the seam end, close to the fabric.
9.2 Removing a Stitch
The thread loops of the looper and needle threads can be undone easily.
> Pull the right overlock needle thread (RN) out of the thread chain with tweezers, starting from the seam
end.
> Pull the needle thread out of the seam.
> With very long seams, cut the thread in the stitch and remove it step by step.
