Overedge Stitch; Double Overedge Stitch - Janome Sewing Machine Instruction Book

Overedge stitch

q Stitch pattern:
w Thread tension dial:
e Presser foot:
This stitch pattern combines the straight and the zigzag
stitches, using the overedge foot, to stitch and overcast
seams in one step.
It is ideal for 1/4˝ (0.6 cm) seams on knits (when attaching
ribbing) or on medium to heavyweight woven fabrics where
you want a narrow seam.
Place your fabric so that the raw edges fit under the wire
guides and touch the black ridge.
NOTE:
Stitch width should be set between 5.0 to 7.0.
The blue tip needle is recommended for stretch materials.

Double overedge stitch

q Stitch pattern:
w Thread tension dial:
e Presser foot:
This stitch can be used for sewing fabrics that tend to fray
extensively such as linens and gabardines.
Two rows of zigzag stitches are simultaneously sewn over
the edge to insure that your seams will not ravel.
Adjust the thread tension so both needle thread and
bobbin thread meet at the edge of the fabric.
NOTE:
Stitch width should be set between 5.0 to 7.0.
The blue tip needle is recommended for stretch materials.
