This stitch is often used as a seam finish to prevent fraying.
If using a zigzag foot, start overedging 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.

When using the straight stitch foot, make sure to set the stitch width control at 0. Otherwise the needle may strike the presser foot and possibly break.
This strong, durable stitch is recommended where both elasticity and strength are necessary in order to insure comfort and durability.
