Variety of Overcasting Stitches

U11 Multiple zigzag stitch
This stitch is used to finish a raw edge of synthetics and
other stretch fabrics that tend to pucker.
Sew along the fabric edge leaving an adequate seam
allowance. After sewing, trim off the seam allowance
close to the stitches.
U12 Overcasting stitch
This stitch can be used to simultaneously seam and
overcast edges of fabrics.
Use this stitch when you do not need to open seams flat.
Place the fabric edge next to the guide of the foot and
sew.
U13 Knit stitch
This stitch is recommended for sewing such fabrics
as synthetic knits and stretch velour as it provides the
greatest amount of elasticity and strength.
Place the fabric edge next to the guide of the foot and
sew.
For better results, use zigzag foot A and sew leaving an
adequate seam allowance.
After sewing, trim the seam allowance close to the
stitches.
U14 Double overedge stitch
This stitch is excellent for fabrics that tend to fray
extensively such as linens and gabardines.
Place the fabric edge next to the guide of the foot and
sew.
Two rows of zigzag stitches are simultaneously sewn
over the edge to insure that the fabric will not ravel.
U15 Overlock stitch
This stitch finishes the edges of fabric in a way similar
to a commercial overlocking machine for a professional
look.
Place the fabric edge next to the guide of the foot and
sew.
