Utility stitches and practical sewing

What is an overlock stitch?
For elastic and knitted materials, the
hobby models 1032 and 1042 offer over-
lock stitches which sew two fabric layers
together and serge simultaneously. They
are more elastic than normal seams, very
durable and easy and fast to sew.
Tip: We recommend using blind stitch
foot no. 3 when sewing overlock seams.
It guides particularly well and prevents
the seam puckering even on wide
seams.
Stitch H stretch
(models 1032 and 1042)
Open overlock stitch
With this stitch, thicker materials and
fabrics which do not fray strongly can be
sewn together perfectly.
Tip: Ensure that the needle sews the
right hand stitch just next to the mate-
rial and not in it.
Stitch J stretch
(models 1032 and 1042)
Closed overlock stitch
With this stitch you can sew jersey fabrics
perfectly. You can also sew on sleeve
cuffs and knit collars.
Tip: Ensure that the sleeve cuff is
stretched while it is being sewn.
