This stitch pattern combines the straight and the zigzag stitches, using the overedge foot, to stitch and overcast seams in one step.

It is also a stretch stitch to provide elasticity for knits and extra strength for woven fabrics.

Use this stitch when you want a narrow seam that you do not have to press open flat.

It is ideal for 6 mm (1/4”) seams on knits. (when attach- ing ribbing) or on medium to heavyweight woven fabrics where you want a narrow seam.

Place your fabric so that the raw edges fit under the wire guides and touch the black ridge and brush guide. Gently guide the fabric so that the raw edges always touch the black ridge and brush guide.

Note: Stitch width should be set between 5.0 to 7.0. The Blue tip needle is recommended for stretch material.
