These stitches are used to join together seams and finish 
them in one operation. Elastic Overlock Stitch: for 
sewing stretch materials.

Put the fabric under the presser foot so 
that the seamline (or arrowhead point) is 
approximately 3 mm (1/8 inch) to the left 
of the center of the presser foot.
• If the seam allowance is wider than the stitch 
pattern, trim away any excess fabric after 
stitching.
Memo
● When sewing the Elastic Overlock Stitch, 
position the fabric so that its edge is on the 
left of the needle.
