Sewing Techniques

Overlocking Outside Corners

Stop sewing when you reach the end of the fabric, and
raise the needle to its highest position. Raise the
presser foot. Push the tension release lever while
gently removing the thread chain from the chaining
finger. Turn fabric. Align the sewn stitches with the
needle. Lower the presser foot and pull up on the
needle thread to remove any slack. Sew.
If you are overlocking and trimming at the same time,
you should cut the fabric by hand at each corner along
the stitching line for about 3 cm (1 1/2") before turning
the fabric. Make the cut to each corner before sewing
begins.

Overlocking Inside Corners

1. Clip the inside corner approximately 4 mm (1/4").
2. Pull the fabric so that the cutting line becomes
straight. The upper knife should barely trim along
the fabric edge.
3. Release the fabric and return to the original shape.

Sewing Curved Edges

For inside curves, guide the fabric gently, applying
pressure with your left hand at point (A) in the direction
of the arrow, while at the same time applying a little
pressure in the opposite direction with your right hand
at point (B).
For outside curves, sew in a similar manner, but by
applying the pressure in the opposite directions.
