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
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:
Set the stitch width 5.0 to 6.5 when the overedge foot C
is used to prevent needle breakage or damaging the foot.
This stitch is ideal for 1/4”(0.6 cm) seams on knits or on
medium to heavy weight woven fabrics where you want a
narrow seam. It Is also great for sewing spandex swim wear.
Place the fabric under the Presser foot [C] so that the
stitches are made over the raw edge.
