Thread flatlock – Baby Lock Imagine Wave (Previous Model) (BLE3ATW) Instruction and Reference Guide User Manual
Page 26
Flatlock seams are most suited to fabrics which do not ravel such
as interlock knits, tricot, sweatshirt fleece and synthetic suede. The
needle thread is carried below the fabric and to the cut edge of the
fabric. The lower looper thread rides along the cut edge of the fab-
ric for stability. The edges pull open and flatten within the stitch for
a non-bulky join (fig. A). Be sure to sew a test sample first to deter-
mine whether the stitch will have the strength to hold the seam with-
out the fabric pulling away.
Move the stitch selector lever to "D".
For the right needle 3-thread flatlock, follow the suggested settings
