Tip: We recommend using blindhem stitch foot 
No. 3 when sewing overlock seams. It guides 
particularly well and prevents the seam from 
puckering even on wide seams. Also remember 
to set the red marker on the foot to the right 
position. This to guide the fabric edge.

Tip: Make sure that the needle sews to the 
right of the fabric just over the edge and not 
in it.
