Overlock stitching on vintage zigzaggers?
Do any of y'all use your vintage zig zag machines to make overlock seams? The Touch N Sew 630 I found is performing wonderfully these past few days, I want to devote it's time to garment construction. I am a complete novice so I'm starting at step one and just studying the manual when it comes to using the machine beyond the joining of fabric or darning, etc. I even ran a few quilting lines on a piece I've been working on, the harp is less forgiving and I don't like the feed as much with all that material. So I think I'll stick to smaller scale work on the Touch N Sew.
Anyway- I had no idea you could create an overedge seam on a zigzag machine! But you can! I have no experience with a serger nor do I own one, but it seems advantageous to use this stitch to finish seams. How about doing this work on an older machine?
