*When using an Overedge foot, make sure to set the stitch width at 5 or more, otherwise the needle may hit the overedge foot.
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 seam. The right tip of the stitch should just clear the seam edge.
For lightweight fabrics, use the overedge foot. To sew, line the fabric edge up with the inner side of the brush holder seam guide.
