NOTE: The program reference cards show
standard tension settings that may require
adjustment depending on the type of thread
or fabric.
Safety 4 Thread
An overlock stitch that has 2 needle threads, a
lower and upper looper thread is a safety 4
thread. The stitch stretches without breaking.
The second needle thread reinforces the
durability and strength of the stitch, but the
stitch retains its elasticity.
Common Uses
1. Excellent for sewing knit garments.
2. Appropriate for loose fitting woven
garments.
Stretch Knit
The same characteristics as the Safety 4
Thread, the Stretch Knit program uses
the differential feed and stitch length
settings to prevent knitwear from
stretching while sewing.
Common Uses
1. Apply ribbing to knit necklines, cuffs
or waistbands.
2. Construction method for sweater
knits.
Gathering 4
The same characteristics as the Safety 4
Thread, the Gathering 4 program uses
the differential feed, stitch length and
tight needle tensions to easily and evenly
gather fabrics for ruffles. This technique
works best on light to medium weight
fabrics.
Common Uses
1. Tiered skirts
2. Home decorating accents.
Stretch Wrapped (Model 686 only)
A stretch wrapped stitch uses two needles and
the lower looper for maximum stretch. The
second needle thread increases the stitch's
durability.
Common Uses
1. Construction method for exercise and
swimwear.
