This stitch is useful in garment construction, and in finishing raw edges of any sewing project.

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.

For lightweight fabrics, use the overedge foot. To sew, line the fabric edge up with the inner side of the brush holder seam guide 7 .
