This stitch is for sewing a seam with an overcast finish, it is
used when making swim wear, ski pants and other garments
which require stretch.
• To sew
Place raw edge of fabric to the "left" of the needle as shown.
Sew in a manner so that the needle pierces the fabric very
close to the outside edge. Or place the fabric to allow a
5/8"(1.6 cm) seam, then trim seam allowance,
Raw or worn edges of older garments can be overcasted to
prevent further raveling.
/
Note:
Use a #11 blue stretch needle, which effectively
prevents skipped stitching.
