SEAMING/OVERCASTING HEAVY WEIGHT FABRICS
Seam and overcast medium to heavyweight fabrics in
one step.
For 1/4” seam allowances, guide the matched edges of the
seam allowances along the right edge of the foot [Fig. 1].
For 1/2” to 5/8” seam allowances, guide the matched
edges of the seam allowances along the seam guide
marking on the needle plate [Fig. 2].
Sew, then trim the excess fabric close to the stitching [Fig. 3].
DECORATIVE FLAT FELL SEAMS
Use to creatively topstitch flat fell seams in knits and wovens.
First, straight stitch a seam and press seam allowances to
one side [Fig. 4]. Select the stretch stitch B. Position the
fabric right side up under the presser foot, with the
pressed seam allowance to the left. Sew through all
three layers [Fig. 5].
