Other settings are exactly same as Pine
Leaf Stitching.
This is the same type of stitch used by
the garment industry in making sports-
wear. It is used for seams nf 3/8"' to
1/4". The seam is formed and finished
in one operation, it must be used when
you are making swimwear, ski pants
and other garments that require stretch.
Fig. 1 shows the raw edge finished.
Stitch so the needle pierces the fabric
just short of the outside edge.
Raw or worn edges of older garments
can be overedge stitched to prevent
further raveling.
