recommended for utility sewing. For decorative

SEAM
A seam sews two pieces of fabric together with a seam
allowance that usually will be pressed open. In most cases,
edges of the seam allowance are finished with an overcast
stitch before sewing the seam.
Seams on stretch fabric must stretch with the fabric. The
Stretch Stitch makes a stretchy seam that is suitable for sewing
together pieces of light stretch fabric.
OVERCAST
The three-step zigzag is up to 7 mm wide and suitable for all
types of fabrics. Use this stitch for overcasting, butting two
edges together to join them, mending tears and other special
finishing.
Use Edging Foot J when overcasting.
