Securing the seam ends
Leave a thread chain of approx. 5 cm (2”) in
length extending at the beginning and the
end of the seam to prevent the seam from
coming undone. Secure the thread chain at
the beginning and end of the seam using
one of the following methods.
Separate the individual thread ends and knot
them together.
Thread the thread chain into a needle with a
large eye and pull the thread chain into the
overlock stitches of the sewing fabric.
Stitching the beginning of the seam
1. Before inserting fabric under the presser
foot, serge a thread chain of approx. 5 cm
(2”) in length.
2. Insert the sewing fabric into the machine
and sew 2-3 stitches into the fabric.
3. Raise the presser foot, guide the thread
chain to the left around the presser foot
towards the front and lay the thread chain
under the presser foot.
4. Pull the thread chain slightly taught
towards the upper blade. Lay the thread
chain under the upper blade. Hold the
thread chain firmly in this position, lower
the presser foot and begin to sew.
5. The upper blade will cut off the excess th-
read chain, leaving an overstitched seam
of approx. 2.5 cm (1”).
