Three-Thread Overlock (narrow)
The Three-Thread Overlock Stitch is the most commonly used stitch because of
its versatility. It provides a wonderful professional seam finish to woven fabrics. It is
beneficial in preventing loosely woven fabrics from unraveling. In addition, the
Three-Thread Overlock Stitch offers unlimited decorative capabilities. It is
recommended for finishing seams but not reinforcing the seam. Use the conventional
sewing machine’s straight stitch to reinforce the seam. The stitch uses one overedge
needles and both the upper looper and lower looper. There are 2 different ways to set
up for a Three-Thread Overlock stitch. For a more narrow stitch (4.0) select the Right
Overedge needle; for a wider stitch (6.0) the Left Overedge needle is used.
