This stitch is for sewing a seam with an overcast finish. It is
used when making swim wear, ski pants and other garments

which require stretch.

• Starting to sew

Place raw edge of fabric to the “ left" of the needle as

shown. Sew in a manner so that the needle pierces the

fabric very close to the outside edge. Or place the fabric to
allow a 5/8" (1.6 cm) seam, then trim seam allowance.

Raw or worn edges of older garments can be overcasted to

prevent further raveling.

NOTE: Use a #11 blue stretch needle, which effectively

prevents skipped stitching.
