If using the zigzag foot, start overcasting 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.

S

For lightweight fabrics, use the overedge foot To sew, line the fabric edge up with the inner side of the brush holder seam guide(_.
