Overcast - Husqvarna Designer Diamond 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.
SELECT
(The 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).
