Sew 2-thread flatlock seams in the same way as 3-thread flatlock
seams, then pull the two fabric layers apart until the seam lies flat
(fig. A). Because the threads show on the outside as well as the
inside of the garment or project, the 2-thread flatlock seam is often
considered a decorative application (fig. B). Be sure to sew a test
sample first to determine whether the stitch will have the strength
to hold the seam without the fabric pulling away.

For 2-thread flatlock - wide

1. Engage the threading lever in the threading position.

2. Place the needle thread on far left spool pin.
3. Thread needle thread through the upper looper thread guide on

top of the machine, then go down the thread path in the front of
the machine. Go left with the needle thread at the hook on front
of the machine. Then take the needle thread through the normal
needle thread paths. (illustration below). Thread the left needle
for a wide flatlock.

4. Engage the subsidiary looper following step 3 on page 25.
5. Thread the lower looper as shown in the illustration below.
6. Engage the threading lever in the serging position.

If you want the "overlock stitching" to show on the right side of the
fabric, place wrong sides together and sew. (Fig. C)

For a 2-thread wide flatlock, follow the suggested settings and
threading illustration below.

Note: If the fabric does not pull completely flat under the stitches,
guide the fabric fold to the left so that the loops hang slightly off the
fold as they are being stitched.
