Turning Outside
Corners
without
Cutting the
Threads
1. When you reach the end of the fabric,
stop stitching with the needle above
the fabric. Raise the presser foot. Gently
pull the chain of thread out from the
needle plate, leaving 2 or 3 loops of
thread on the stitch finger. Turn the
fabric, lower the presser foot and com-
mence stitching in the new direction.
2.
When overlocking and trimming at the
same time, cut the fabric by hand
along the new stitching line for about
3 cm, before turning the fabric. It is
preferable to make a small cut to mark
the second stitch line, before starting
to sew.
Overlooking Inside
Corners
1.
When overlocking an inside corner on
a pocket, etc., clip about 3 to .4 mm
into the corner.
2.
Fold the fabric into, a straight edge,
as shown, and sew along the edge,
trimming very little, if necessary.
3. Open and press the fabric.
