Sewing overcasting stitches using the optional side cutter

Using the side cutter, seam allowances can be finished while the edge of the fabric is cut off. Five stitches can be
used to sew overcasting stitches with the side cutter.
Note
Thread the needle manually when using the side cutter, or only attach the side cutter after threading the
needle using the needle threader.
