DECORATIVE EFFECTS
In addition to normal overlocking which is fully described in
this instruction book, your machine can also be used for a
number of decorative applications such as decorative
top-stitching, butted seams, pin-tucking or making lengths
of decorative braid. See below.
Decorative top-stitching – using only two threads
(Model 056 only) or using three threads (flat seam)
Fold fabric along the line to be top-stitched and sew over the
folded edge, making sure not to cut into the fold. Fig. A.
Unfold the fabric, pull the ends of the threads to the
underside and press flat.
The final appearance can be enhanced by using buttonhole
twist or embroidery thread on the lower looper.
Butted seams – using only two threads (Model 056
only) or using three threads (flat seam)
Place two pieces of fabric wrong sides together and
overlock along the edge. Unfold and press.
By using different colored fabrics and thread a pleasing
§patchwork§ effect can be achieved.
Pin-tucking – using three threads
Fold fabric along a line to be pin-tucked and overlock sew
along the folded edge, making sure not to cut into the folded
edge of the fabric. (See page 30). Pull ends of threads to the
underside and press.
Making decorative braid-using three threads
Overlock over a cord or braid, holding it carefully with both
hands, making sure not to cut the edge. (See page 30).
NOTE : * If you use blind hem foot (option, see page 33),
decorative stitch is made easily.
**Reduce the upper looper tension when you use
thick thread.
