Slant Overedge Stitch
The slant overedge stitch sews the seam and overcasts the edge
all at one time, perfect for stretch fabrics. This stitch is more
elastic than normal seams, very durable and quickly sewn.
Place the fabric under the presser foot aligning the edge of the
presser foot with the edge of the fabric. Once the seam is
finished, trim excess fabric outside the seam.
Tip: Use the Blind Hem foot to sew at the very edge of the
fabric. Adjust the extension on the foot, and let it guide along
the fabric edge. Always test sew on a piece of scrap fabric first,
the result might vary due to the fabric weight and quality.
Closed Overlock Stitch
The closed overlock stitch can be used for sewing medium to
heavier weight stretch fabrics.
Use this stitch to hem stretch fabrics (A) and for belt loops (B).
Fold a hem to the wrong side and stitch with closed overlock
stitch from the right side. Trim away excess fabric.
Blind Hems
The blind hem stitch is used to make invisible hems on skirts,
trousers and home décor projects. There are two types of blind
hem; one is recommended for medium to heavy woven fabric
(1), the other for medium to heavy stretch fabric (2).
