Overcasting

q Stitch pattern:
w Needle thread tension:
e Presser foot:
NOTE:
When using an Overedge foot, make sure to set the stitch
width at 5 and 7, otherwise the needle may hit the
overedge foot.
This zigzag variation is very useful in garment construction
and in finishing raw edges of any sewing project.
z The black ridge and the guide wires on the overedge
foot keep the edge neat and the fabric straight.
x Place your fabric so that the double guide wires come to
the edge. The machine will stitch over these wires. The
black ridge will keep the loose threads in so that the
needle can stitch over them.
c As you sew, be sure your fabric edge pushes up against
the black ridge.

Tricot stitch

q Stitch pattern:
w Needle thread tension:
e Presser foot:
This stitch is used to finish the seam allowance on
synthetics and other fabrics that tend to pucker. The stitch
is also excellent for darning and mending tears.
Place your fabric to allow a 5/8˝ (1.5 cm) seam. Trim
excess close to stitching. Be careful not to cut the stitches.
