• HOW то SEW AN OVERLOOK BLIND HEM
The excess fabric is trimmed and the hem is sewn
and the raw edges are overlocked in one operation.
The overlock blind hem is best suited for sewing knit
wear. It provides a durable finish that is almost
invisible.
* Remove the left needle and adjust machine for a
narrow three-thread overlock stitch.
Note: The three-thread fiatlock stitch can also be
used.
* Set the stitch length dial at 4 ~ 5.
* Fold the hem to the wrong side of the fabric, then
back to the right side with 6mm (1/4") beyond
the fold.
* Stitch on the extended hem edge, allowing the
machine needle to barely catch the edge of the
fold.
Note: An optional blind hem foot (ULTRA HEM
FOOT) is available, (page 45)
* HOW TO SEW PIN TUCKS
Sew decorative pin tucks on the fabric before cutting
out the garment.
* Remove the left needle and adjust machine for a
narrow three-thread overlock stitch.
Note: The rolled hem stitch can also be used for this
technique.
* Place the movable upper knife in the non-operat
ing position (page 23).
* Mark the fabric with the desired number of pin
tucks using a water soluble fabric marker.
