Variation of Zigzag Stitches

2	•	Overcasting
	•	Overcasting
	1	Stitch pattern:	05
	2	Presser foot:	Overedge foot C

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

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

2. Place your fabric so that the double guide wires come to the edge.

The machine will stitch over these wires. The black ridge and brush will keep the loose threads in so that the needle can stitch over them.

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

•Tricot stitch

2	1	Stitch pattern:	06
	2	Presser foot:	Foot A

This stitch can be used to prevent stretch material edges from fraying, when sewing folded fabric.

A second method is to keep an extra space allowance from the fabric edge and after finishing the sewing, cut the extra seam allowance edge as shown.
