OVERLOCK STITCH

This is the same type stitch used by the garment industry
in making sportswear - it forms and finishes the seam in
one operation.
It's very effective for use in repairing raw or worn edges
of older garments.

SMOCKING STITCH

1. Make a straight line of gathers across the fabric that

you wish to smock.

2. With a narrow strip of fabric directly under the line of

gathering, stitch over the gathers. The design will be
a series of small diamonds.

ELASTIC OVERLOCK STITCH

Use this stitch in preference to regular overlock stitch for
overcasting stretch or knit fabrics where strength and
flexibility are required.
