Corded overlock
Corded overlock can be used to strengthen stitches when
joining elastic fabrics such as knits. Cording prevents knit
fabrics from stretching and also stabilize the seams.
1. Insert the cord through the hole in the front of the foot.
2. Position the cord under the foot to the back of the machine
and sew the garment seam.
3. The cord is attached in the stitch as the seam is sewn.
Pin placement
Insert straight pins to the left of the presser foot. The pins will
be easy to remove and are away from the cutters.
Warning: Sewing over pins will damage and might destroy the edge
of the cutters.
Securing the thread chain
1. Thread the chain into a large eyed, hand sewing needle.
2. Insert the needle into the end of the seam and pull the chain
into the seam to secure the threads.
