Model 2800:
Overcasting is used to prevent fabrics from raveling at
raw edges. It can be used to finish a hem edge.
Place the edge of the fabric next to the guide of foot and
sew with the fabric edge against the guide.

CAUTION:
Do not set the stitch width less than 5 when using foot C;
the needle may hit the foot causing the needle to bend
or break.
Model 2600:
Sew while guiding the fabric so the needle drops off the
fabric edge on the right.
