Sew with the center of the presser foot 
aligned along the center of the two pieces 
of fabric.

5

After sewing is finished, remove the paper 
and the basting stitches.

Overedge stitching

These stitches are used to join together seams and finish 
them in one operation. Elastic Overlock Stitch: for 
sewing stretch materials.

1

Put the fabric under the presser foot so 
that the seamline (or arrowhead point) is 
approximately 3 mm (1/8 inch) to the left 
of the center of the presser foot.

• If the seam allowance is wider than the stitch 

pattern, trim away any excess fabric after 
stitching.

Memo

When sewing the Elastic Overlock Stitch, 
position the fabric so that its edge is on the 
left of the needle.

Feather stitching

Use the Feather Stitch as a decorative top stitch when 
embroidering or when hemming blankets, tablecloths, 
or draperies.

1

Place the fabric right side up and sew 1 cm 
(1/2 inch) from the edge of the fabric.

2

Trim close to the stitching.

The stitch will prevent the fabric from unravelling.
