The zigzag stitch is one of the most common and versatile
stitches. It can be a utility stitch for button sewing,
buttonhole making, hemming, overcasting, mending and
darning.
It can also be used to decorate with trims, appliques and
cut work or as a decorative stitch.

This stitch is useful in garment construction, and in
finishing raw edges of any sewing project.
Start overcasting with the rightmost needle position about
1/8˝ (0.3 cm) from the row edge of a seam. The right tip of
the stitch should just clear the seam edge.
