Sewing Double Overlock

A double overlock seam is suitable for looser knit fabric and for cross seams in woven fabric. A new jersey or stretch needle must be used for knit fabrics so that the delicate knit is not damaged.

2. Set the stitch pattern selector knob to F.
3. Set the stitch length knob to S1.
4. Set the stitch width according to the stitch table.
5. For finishing the edge of the fabric with the zigzag foot: Position the edge of the fabric under the presser foot so that the right-hand straight stitch is sewn close to the edge of the fabric.

6. For sewing and hemming elastic fabrics and for sewing belt loops: Fold the edge of the fabric backwards with the left-hand sides together. Sew the seam on the right-hand side of the fabric. Cut off any excess fabric from the edge of the fabric up to the seam.
