SECTION. S. LEARN THE STITCHES
This zigzag variation is very useful in
garment construction and in finishing rawsi
edges oi any sewing project.
Here's How
1. The black ndge and brush and the guide
wires on the overedgs foot keep the
edge neat and the fabric straight.
2. Place your fabric so that the double
guide Wires come to the edge.
NOTE: These wires keep light weight fabric
from rolling into a ndge and hold
medium weight fabric flat.
The machine wilt stitch over these wires.
The black ndge and brush wilt keep the
loose threads in sothattha needle can stitch
over them.
3.
4.
As you sew, be sure your fabric edge
pushes against the black ridge and brush
guide.
When you stop sewing, remove the
fabric by drawing it to the back and
out. The fabric will catch on the wire
guides if you pull it toward you.
For overcasting folded fabric;
You can also fold the raw edge of the seam
and overcast.
1. Start the fold by sliding it under the
needle and lowering the needle.
NOTE. Be sure your needle is in the |eft
position,
2. Lower the prasser foot so that both
guide wires are on the fabric.
3. Fold the fabric to the left 1/8" as you
feed it into the machine and stitch.
Helpful Hints
Start overcasting about 1/8" inside the raw corner of your seam. If you start right at the edge,
the fabric will bunch up and the stitches will become tangled.
