The Stitch and its Uses

This stitch can be used for sewing a seam with an overcast finish.

The seam is formed and finished in

one operation. It can be used when

you are making swimwear, ski pants

and other garments that require stretch.

Here'sHow

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

Stitch so the needle pierces the fabric just short of the outside edge.

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

Raw or worn edges of older garments can be overcast to prevent further

raveling.

NOTE: Use a blue stretch fabric

needle, which effectively prevents skipped stitches.
