Utility stitches and practical sewing
What is an overlock stitch?
For elastic materials and knits, the select 
models offer overlock stitches which sew 
two fabric layers together and overcast 
simultaneously. They are more elastic than 
normal seams, very durable and quickly sewn.
Tip: We recommend using blind stitch foot 
No. 3 when sewing overlock seams. It guides 
particularly well and prevents the seam from 
puckering even on wide seams.
Open overlock stitch
With this stitch, thicker  materials and fabrics 
which do not fray too much can be sewn 
together perfectly.
TIP: Make sure that the needle sews to the 
right of the material just over the edge and not 
in it.
