This stitch is often used as a seam finish to prevent fraying.

If using a zigzag foot, start overedging with the leftmost

needle position about 1/8" (0.3 cm) from the raw edge of a

fabric. The right tip of the stitch should just clear the raw

fabric. For lightweight fabrics, use the overedge foot. To

sew, line the fabric edge up with the inner side of the brush

holder seam guide

Note:

When using an overedge foot, make sure to set the stitch

width at 5 to 7.0, otherwise the needle may hit the

overedge foot.

To prevent raw edge of fabric from raveling, overcast the

edge with zigzag stitch. It is the fastest way to finish the raw

edge of most woven fabrics.

Seam finishing

This stitch is used to finish the seam allowance on

synthetics and other fabrics that tend to pucker. The stitch

is also excellent for darning and mending tears.

Place your fabric to allow a 5/8" (1.5 cm) seam. Trim

excess close to stitching. Be careful not to cut the stitches.

Mending

Position the tear under the needle so that the stitch

catches both sides.
