"Uncovering the Versatility of the Overlocker: Exploring Three-Thread Flatlock Stitch"

Jan 21, 2024 - 9:49pmSummary: I've made an exciting discovery about my overlocker machine (Serger) - it can execute a three-thread flatlock stitch. This particular stitch is very suitable for making athletic wear, which is exactly the type of clothing I design. I noticed that Melanzano uses a distinctive exposed stitch with black thread that adds a contrasting detail, revealing the garment's construction. I'm eager to try this technique on some seams and plan to examine my Melanzano jacket to see where this stitching method is applied.

Transcript: I just discovered something absolutely incredible about my overlocker machine aka Serger and it's that I can do a three thread flatlock stitch and a flatlock stitch is good for sewing athletic wear which is all of the clothing that I make and I wondered how Melanzano was able to create their stitch and their stitch is exposed it's this exposed looking stitch and they use usually black thread so they have this black contrast thread on the whole thing and you can kind of see how the whole thing is effectively made and I just learned how you do that and I'm psyched it probably doesn't work well for the entire garment but I think it will work really really well along some of the seams so I'm gonna take a better look at my previous Melanzano jacket and see where the seams are used
