This stitch is often used as a seam finish to prevent fraying

If using a zigzag foot, start overedging with the leftmost

needle position about 1/8" (0.3 cm) from the raw edge of a
fabric The right tip of the stitch should just clear the raw
fabric. For lightweight fabrics, use the overedge foot To
sew, line the fabric edge up with the inner side of the brush
holder seam guide (j).________________________________

CAUTION:
When using an overedge foot, make sure to set the stitch
width at 5 to 7 0, otherwise the needle may hit the
overedge foot

To prevent raw edge of fabric from raveling, overcast the

edge with zigzag stitch. It is the fastest way to finish the raw
edge of most woven fabrics.

Seam finishing

This stitch is used to finish the seam allowance on

synthetics and other fabrics that tend to pucker. The stitch
is also excellent for darning and mending tears

Place your fabric to allow a 5/8" (1.5 cm) seam. Trim

excess close to stitching Be careful not to cut the stitches

» Mending

Position the tear under the needle so that the stitch

catches both sides.
