Five-Thread Safety Stitch Narrow 
 
This stitch is a combination of a Two-Thread Chainstitch and a Three-Thread Overlock 
Stitch.  It is suitable for woven fabrics and provides a durable seam for heavy weight 
fabrics such as denim and terrycloth.  Usi ng this strong and stable safety stitch  
eliminates the need to reinforce the seam  with a conventional sewing machine straight 
stitch.  The Pressure Adjust ing Dial makes it simple to sew on all weights of  
fabrics. The Five-Thread Safety Stitch  can have a width of 2.8mm or 5.6mm  
depending on which overlock needl e position is chosen.
