This stitch is useful in garment construction, and in finishing
raw edges of any sewing project.
If using the zigzag foot, start overcasting with the leftmost
needle position about 1/8˝ (0.3 cm) from the raw edge of a
seam. The right tip of the stitch should just clear the seam
edge.
For lightweight fabrics, use the overedge foot. To sew, line
the fabric edge up with the inner side of the brush holder
seam guide .
