Flatlock

The flatlock forms loops on the upper side of the seam and stretch stitches on the underside.

  1. Set the machine for a 2- or 3-thread flatlock.
  2. Sew two layers of fabric together (wrong side on wrong side).
  3. Carefully separate the two layers of fabric.
  4. The two fabric edges now lie flat on top of each other at the stitch width of the flatlock.

Flatlock Narrow

A narrow flatlock is the result when the Right Overlock Needle (RN) is inserted.

Flatlock Wide

A wide flatlock is the result when the Left Overlock Needle (LN) is inserted.
