Here+s How

Place the raw edge of the tabric to the LEFT of the needle as shown.

Stitch so the needle pierces the fabric just short of the outs+de edge.

Or, place your fabric to allow a 5!8- seam, then trim seam allowance after.

Raw or worn edges ot older garments can be overcast to prevent further raveling.

NOTE: Use a blue stretch fabric needle, which effectively prevents skipped stitches.
