Seam; Overcast - Husqvarna Viking Eden Rose 250C Limited Edition User Manual

SEAM

A seam sews two pieces of fabric together with a seam
allowance that usually will be pressed open. In most cases,
edges of the seam allowance are fi nished with an overcast
stitch before sewing the seam.
Seams on stretch fabric must stretch with the fabric. The
Stretch Stitch makes a stretchy seam that is suitable for
sewing together pieces of light stretch fabric.
