This is a sewing method that prevents unraveling at the edge of the fabric.
❑ When using the overcasting foot
When using the overcasting foot, select stitch number 4, 8, 10 or 13, and set the stitch
width to 5.0.
Not doing so could cause the needle to hit the presser foot and break, which may result in
injuries.
