Stitch Type

Stitches: Class-514 (Sub-Classes)

Stitch Class 514 (overedge): Stitch formed with 2 needle threads and 2 looper threads with the looper threads forming a purl on the edge of the seam. In the 514 stitch, both needles enter the upper looper loop. Preferred over the 512 Stitch because it chains-off better.

Thread consumption ratio=1 : 20

This type of stitch is formed with 4 threads:

2 Needle threads (A & A1) 1 Lower looper thread (B) 1 Upper looper thread (C)

The loops of the needle threads (A & A1) are passed through the material and inter-looped with loops of thread (B) at the point of penetration on the underside of the material. The loops of thread (B) are extended to the edge of the material and there inter-looped with loops of thread (C). The loops of thread (C) are extended from this inter-looping point of the needle penetration of the next stitch and there, inter-looped with threads (A & A1).
