OVERCASTING

:: : Fig. 2

This is one of the more frequently used zigzag stitches in garment construction.

You may want to overcast along the raw edge of each seam allowance or fold the

raw edge toward the garment and stitch.

Fig. 1 shows the raw edge finished. Fig. 2 illustrates the folded edge stitch-

ed.

Stitch so the needle pierces the fabric

just short of the outside edge. Raw or

worn edges of older garments can be

overcast to prevent further raveling.
