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 the 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 CheckTM or Fray-
No-MoreTM ) on the end of the threads.
D. z Before putting your fabric in the machine, sew
a thread chain about 5 cm (2´´) long behind the
needle.
x Put your fabric on the machine. Then serge a few
stitches and stop.
c Raise the presser foot and bring the thread chain to
the left, around and under the presser foot.
v Place the thread chain between the presser foot
and upper knife, holding it in position as you lower
the presser foot to sew.
b 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 "D" or you can use the
methods shown below.
z Serge one stitch off the end of a seam.
x Raise the needle and presser foot, and gently pull the
threads off the chaining finger.
c Turn the fabric over so that the under side is up.
v Serge about 2.5 cm (1˝) over stitching and angle off
the fabric.
