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
»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 1 6
cm (5/8”) searn, 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
