OVERCAST STRETCH
STITCHING

This is the same type of stitch used by
the garment industry in making sports
wear. It is used for seams of 3/8” to

1 /4". The seam is formed and finished
in one operation. It must be used when

you are making swimwear, ski pants

and other garments that require stretch.

Fig. 1 shows the raw edge finished.

Stitch so the needle pierces the fabric

just short of the outside edge.

Raw or worn edges of older garments

can

overcast

prevent

further

raveling.
