This stitch is for sewing a seam with an overcast finish, It i_
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" (1.5cm) seam, 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.
