Securing Beginning of Seam
•Fold fabric in half
•Stitch 2-3 stitches into fabric, then stop sewing.
•Raise presser foot. Bring chain around left side
of foot and under front of cutter.
•Lower presser foot and sew, cutting off excess chain.
Securing End of Seam
•Sew to end of fabric.
•Raise presser foot to release thread tensions and pull fabric 1" from foot.
•Reinsert fabric under foot about 1" from end and serge over
previous stitching.
•Raise presser foot and pull sample out.
Use thread cutter to cut threads.
Optional Securing Methods
•You may tie a knot in the thread ends. This method requires about three
inches of extra thread. After tying knot, trim ends.
•Use a small amount of Fray Check^” at the ends.
•Thread ends into the finished seam. This requires one or two
inches of thread at the end and is usually the best choice for decorative finishes.
