Over edge stitch

The Overlock Stitch is used to prevent the edge of
the fabric from fraying.
Stitch width 3-5
Stitch length 3-4
Needle position L
Presser foot Zigzag
Needle Single
Place the edge of the fabric under the presser foot so
the needle enters the fabric when the left side of the
zigzag stitch is sewn and misses the edge of the
fabric with the right side of the stitch. Sew with this
needle position along the edge of the fabric.
