For elastic materials and knits, the hobby 1142 offers an overlock stitch which sews two fabric layers together and overcasts simultaneously. It is more elastic than normal seams, very durable and quickly sewn. When sewing overlock seams, use overcasting foot C. It guides particularly well and prevents the seam from puckering. Closed overlock stitch The closed overlock stitch is perfect for sewing jersey knits. You can also sew sleeve cuffs and knit collars which are well-sewn and long-lasting. Tip: Ensure that the sleeve cuff is stretched while it is being sewn. Remember! When overlocking, if you select a needle position other than center, and stitch width other than 5, make sure the needle does not strike the bar (A) of the overcasting foot C. Open overlock stitch With this stitch, thicker materials and fabrics which do not fray too much can be sewn together perfectly. This stitch seams and nishes the fabric edges simultaneously. Place the edge of the fabric next to the guide of foot and sew while guiding the fabric edge along the guide. Tip: Make sure that the needle is just off the raw edge of the fabric and not into it, when the needle swings to the right. Note: Do not set the stitch width less than 5 when using the overcasting foot C, otherwise the needle may hit the foot causing the needle to bend or break.
