Overcast - Viking Designer Ruby User Manual

OVERCAST

Overcast fabric edges to prevent fraying and to help
them lay at. It is easiest to overcast before the garment
is sewn together. Presser foot J is recommended for light
and medium weight fabric to prevent puckering along the
edge. Presser foot B is used for heavy weight fabric. Your
Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature will select the
best stitch length and stitch width for the fabric weight and
recommend the presser foot and needle.
: Woven medium.
FABRIC
: Woven medium fabric and Overcast technique. (The
SELECT
Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature selects a three-
step zigzag stitch.)
: Presser foot J and size 80 needle as recommended.
USE
Place the edge of a single thickness of fabric under presser
foot J with the wire guide along the edge of the fabric. The
three-step zigzag stitch sews over the wire guide to keep the
edge of the fabric at.
:
SEW
• Step on the foot control. The presser foot lowers
automatically.
• Sew to overcast the edge of the fabric.
• Touch the Selective Thread Cutter.
Note: It is not necessary to overcast leather or vinyl because they do
not fray. However, the Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature
allows you to, if desired. Select Leather/Vinyl fabric and Overcast
technique on your Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature.
(The Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature selects a zigzag
stitch).
