The Stitch and Its Uses
This zigzag variation is very useful in
garment construction and in finishing
raw edges of any sewing project.
Helpful Hints
Start overcasting about 1/8" inside the
raw corner of your seam. If you start
right at the edge, the fabric will bunch
up and the stitches will become
tangled.
