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.

Stitch so the needle pierces the fabric

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.

With the stitch length at "4", sew

straight stitching lines 3/8" apart across the area to be smocked.

Knot the threads along one edge. Pull

the bobbin threads and distribute the

gathers evenly. Secure the threads at

the other end. Sew the decorative stitch between the gathering stitches. Pull out the gathering stitches.

NOTE: Loosen the top thread

tension to make gathering easier.
