Blind Hemming - Overlock
Your Baby Lock evolve can create a sturdy, nearly invisible blind-
hem.
1. Set the machine for 2-Thread Overlock with the O-2 needle
threaded. Set the stitch width at 5.0 and the stitch length at 4.0
in the standard range.
2. Fold up the hemline and press it in place. Then fold the hem
allowance back against the fabric right side to create a fold about
1/4 " from the top edge of the hem as shown (fig. A).
3. Align the fold under the presser foot and stitch, allowing the nee-
dle to catch only a thread or two of the soft fold: the blade will trim
the top edge of the hem and the loopers will overcast the edge for
a clean finish (fig. B).
4. Open the fold and press flat (fig. C).
Note: An optional blindhem foot for consistent guiding is available
through your Baby Lock retailer (fig. D).
Sewing Curves - Overlock
To sew around inside or outside curves, guide the fabric into the blade, not the needle. Remember, cutting
takes place before the fabric reaches the needle. Because the long serger presser foot holds the fabric more
securely, you may need to raise and lower the presser foot several times to maneuver around very tight curves.
