Sewing
Overlock stitch – 15
The open overlock stitch works well when joining or edge-
fi nishing fabrics that do not fray excessively.
Closed overlock stitch with selvage thread – 18
If you wish to sew a fabric that frays easily, select stitch 18.
With this stitch an additional edge thread protects the fabric
edge against further fraying.
Closed overlock stitch - 7
This stitch is suitable for sewing a hem on your garment.
Fold your fabric 3/8” (1 cm) and stitch the closed overlock on
the right side of the folded fabric. When you have fi nished, cut
away the unnecessary fabric.
Overlock stitches
For elastic, knits, woven and stretch fabrics, the 2038 and 2048 provides a selection of overlock stitches. These stitches join
multiple layers of fabric and overcast them in one operation. These stitches can stretch and are more durable than standard
stitches.
Tip: Use blind stitch foot No. 3 when sewing overcast seams. This guides the fabric more precisely and prevents tunneling of the seam
at wider stitch widths. Adjust the stitch width and guide of the foot to ensure that the right swing of the needle clears the raw edge of the
fabric and the pin of the presser foot.
