Overcasting with Zigzag Stitch

q Stitch pattern: 07 w Needle thread tension: 3 to 7 e Presser foot: Overedge foot C

This zigzag variation is very useful in garment construction and in finishing raw edges of any sewing project.

The black ridge and the guide wires on the overedge foot keep the edge neat and the fabric straight.

Place your fabric so that the double guide wires come to the edge. The machine will stitch over these wires.

The black ridge will keep loose threads in so that the needle can stitch over them.

As you sew, be sure your fabric edge pushes up against the black ridge.

NOTE:

When using an overedge foot, make sure to set the stitch width between 5.0 and 7.0, otherwise the needle may hit the overedge foot.

Multiple Zigzag

This stitch is used to finish seams 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.
