Overcasting with Zigzag Stitch

q Stitch pattern:
w Needle thread tension:
e Presser foot:
This zigzag variation is very useful in garment
construction and in finishing raw edges of any sewing
project.
The black ridge and the guide wires on the overedge
foot keep the edge neat and the fabric straight.
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 loose threads in so that
the needle can stitch over them.
As you sew, be sure your fabric edge pushes up against
the black ridge.
CAUTION:
When using an overedge foot, make sure to set the
stitch width between 5.5 and 7.0, otherwise the needle
may hit the overedge foot.

Multiple Zigzag

q Stitch pattern:
w Needle thread tension:
e Presser foot:
This stitch is used to finish seams 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 1.5 cm seam. Trim the excess
close to the stitching. Be careful not to cut the stitches.

Overedge Stitch

q Stitch pattern:
w Needle thread tension:
e Presser foot:
This stitch is used to simultaneously seam and overcast
edges of fabrics. Use this stitch when you do not need to
open seams flat.
Place the fabric edge next to the black guide and sew.
CAUTION:
Stitch width should be set between 5.5 and 7.0,
otherwise the needle may hit the overedge foot.
The blue tipped needle is recommended for stretch
materials.
