Corded Overlock
Corded overlock can be used to strengthen stitches when joining
elastic fabrics such as knits. Cording prevents knit fabrics from
stretching and also stabilizes the seams.
1. Insert the cord through the hole in the front of the foot.
2. Position the cord under the foot to the back of the machine
and sew the garment seam.
3. The cord is attached in the stitch as the seam is sewn.
Gathering Using the Differential Feed
The differential feed can be used to gather lightweight fabrics.
Use it for sleeves, making ruffles, and more.
Set the differential feed between 1.5 and 2 to obtain the best
gathering effect for your project. Always try on a scrap piece of
your fabric first. See Differential Feed Adjustment, page 12, to
learn how to adjust the differential feed.
