Two-Thread Wrapped Edge Overlock (narrow) 
 
The Two-Thread Wrapped Edge Overlock provides an elegant fine finish to lightweight  
fabrics.  When using clear threads in conjunction with the Two-Thread stitch, the  
fabric appears to have an invisible edge.  This gives a couture effect and looks  
beautiful on finer fabrics. The Two-Thread Stitch requires the lower looper thread and 
one overlock needle thread.  The lower looper thread wraps around the fabric’s edge. 
There are 2 different ways to set up for a Two-Thread Wrapped Edge Overlock stitch.  
For a more narrow stitch (4.0) select the right overedge needle; for a wider stitch(6.0) 
the left overedge needle is used.
