Learn what makes the flatlock stitch so different from the other stitches on your serger. You'll learn how to set up the two-thread and three-thread flatlock stitches, and we'll walk you through the serger settings so that you'll always get a perfectly balanced stitch.
You'll learn two different seaming techniques which use the flatlock stitch for practical and decorative purposes. What's more, you'll learn what makes the flatlock stitch so well-suited for your sewing projects, especially for activewear, intimates, and fleece.
You'll even see the best way to undo a flatlock stitch, because even though we never ever make mistakes on our sewing projects (right?) it might be handy to know - just in case!
