Securing the thread chain
⦁
Leave a 12cm/5" chain at the beginning and the end of the seam so that it can be
knotted or pulled through the first/last few stitches with a darning needle.
Undoing stitches
To remove stitches already sewn, snip off the needle thread(s) at intervals and pull out
looper thread(s).
Sewing corners
1 When reaching the fabric edge, stop stitching (with the needle up).
2 Raise the presser foot and gently pull on the thread chain just so that the stitch plate
is cleared. Turn the fabric, lower the presser foot and begin stitching in the new direc-
tion.
3 When overlocking and trimming at the same time, cut the fabric along the new stitching
line for about 1.5"/3cm in front of the corner.
