Flat Joining Seam
Select the Stretch Overlock stitch.
Cut a
5
/8” seam allowance off one piece of fabric along one long
edge.
Mark a line on the other piece of fabric,
5
/8” from one long edge.
This will be the right-hand piece of fabric.
Overlap the fabric edges left over right, aligning the left raw edge
with the drawn line on the right-hand piece.
Stitch along the raw edge. Turn the fabric over and stitch along
the remaining raw edge.
NOTE: This is a great seam technique to use on bulky fabrics
such as terry cloth.
