decorative threads)
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 fabri cs from unraveling. In addition, the
Three-Thread Overlock Stitch offers unlim ited decorative capabilities. It is
recommended for finishing seams but not rein forcing the seam. Use the conventional
sewing machine’s straight stitch to reinfo rce 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 st itch. For a more narrow stitch (4.0) select the Right
Overedge needle; for a wider stitch (6.0) the Left Overedge needle is used.
