Securing Ends

To avoid unravelling, it is necessary to leave a

thread chain about 5 cm (2˝) long at the beginning

and at the end of a seam. To secure the beginning

and end of a seam choose one of the following

methods.

At the beginning

A. Separate the end of the threads and knot them.

B. Thread the chain through a large eyed needle,

and weave that chain through the overlock

stitches on the fabric.

C. Cut the chain at the edge of the fabric. Then

apply a small amount of seam sealant (Fray

Check

or Fray-No-More

) on the end of the

threads.

D. Backstitching

1. Before putting your fabric in the machine, sew

a thread chain about 5 cm (2´´) long behind the

needle.

2. Put your fabric on the machine. Then serge a

few stitches and stop.

3. Raise the presser foot and bring the thread

chain to the left, around and under the presser

foot.

4. Place the thread chain between the presser

foot and upper knife, holding it in position as

you lower the presser foot to sew.

5. After sewing about 2.5 cm (1´´), move the chain

to the right and under the upper knife, cutting

the chain as you sew.

At the end of a seam

* You can use the same methods as “At the

beginning” to secure the end of a seam except

“Backstiching” or you can use the methods

shown below.

1. Serge one stitch off the end of a seam.

2. Raise the needle and presser foot, and gently pull

the threads off the chaining finger.

3. Turn the fabric over so that the under side is up.

4. Serge about 2.5 cm (1˝) over stitching and angle

off the fabric.
