Overcast stitch
Check that the needle is in the highest position. Turn
the stitch selector to the symbol
The standard stitch length setting is 0.8 and can be
increased or reduced depending on the fabric.
The overcast stitch can be used for joining and over­
casting the edges of lightweight, woven and elastic fab­
rics, like chambray, taffeta, nylon cire and silky-knit
(jersey).
Join and overcast directly on the edge where a 5 mm
(%e") seam is allowed, or cut out the garment with a
wider seam allowance, sew with overcast stitch and then
trim close to the stitching.
Use the overcast stitch to make scalloped edges on
sleeves, flounces, etc. on light fabrics. Fold the edge and
sew on the fold, using a tight upper thread tension. Use
presser foot A.
If you sew scalloped edges on woven fabrics, it will be
necessary to sew on the bias.
