Seam and Overcasting Stitches (Continued)
Knit stitch pattern 01
Machine Setting
Stitch pattern:
01 (Mode 3)
Thread tension: 3-7
Presser foot pressure: 3
This stitch is recommended for sewing such fabrics as
synthetic knits and stretch velour as it provides the greatest
amount of elasticity and strength.
Sew on a regular 5/8” seam allowance.
After sewing, trim seam allowance close to the stitches.
Double overedge stitch pattern 02
Machine Setting
Stitch pattern:
02 (Mode 3)
Thread tension: 3-7
Presser foot: Overedge foot C
Foot pressure: 3
This is an excellent stitch for fabrics that tend to fray
extensively, such as linens and gabardines.
Two rows of zigzag stitches are simultaneously sewn over
the edge to insure that the fabric will not unravel.
Place the fabric edge next to the guide of the foot and then
sew.
CAUTION
When using the overedge foot C, set the stitch width at 5.0
or wider to prevent the needle from hitting the wires on the
foot. For either foot C or M, test the stitch width setting, but
be sure to turn the handwheel toward you slowly as you
move through the stitch formation. The needle may deflect
if settings have been changed.
Overlock stitch pattern 03
Machine Setting
Stitch pattern:
03 (Mode 3)
Thread tension: 6-8
Presser foot: Overcasting foot M
Foot pressure: 3
This stitch finishes the edges of fabric for a professional
look. Place the fabric edge next to the guide of the foot and
then sew.
NOTE
The stitch width of this pattern cannot be changed.
CAUTION
When using the overedge foot C or overcasting foot M, set
the zigzag width at 5.0 or wider to prevent the needle from
hitting the wires on the foot.
