The Two-Thread Overedge (wide) is a good choice when sewing linens and wools.  
The Two-Thread Overedge (wide) has the same set up as the Two-Thread Over-
edge (narrow) Stitch.  The only exception is the Right
 Overedge Needle is now un-
threaded and removed and the Left
 Overedge Needle is threaded.  By  
using the left needle the stitch becomes wider.

Three-Thread Overlock (narrow) 
 
The Three-Thread Overlock Stitch is the most commonly used stitch because of  
its versatility.  It provides a wonderful professional seam finish to woven fabrics.  It is  
beneficial in preventing loosely woven fabrics from unraveling.  In addition, the  
Three-Thread Overlock Stitch offers unlimited decorative capabilities.  It is  
recommended for finishing seams but not reinforcing the seam.  Use the conventional 
sewing machine’s straight stitch to reinforce the seam.  The stitch uses one overedge  
needles and both the upper looper and lower looper.  There are 2 different ways to set 
up for a Three-Thread 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.
