MULTI-STEP ZIGZAG STITCH
SLANT OVEREDGE STITCH
Multi-step zigzag stitch is used to overcast raw edges. Make
sure the needle pierces the fabric on the left side and overcasts
the edge on the right side.
The stitch can also be used as a stretch stitch to allow seams to stretch when
sewing knit fabrics.
The slant overedge stitch sews the seam and overcasts the
edge all at one time, perfect for stretch fabrics. This stitch
is more elastic than normal seams, very durable and quickly
sewn.
Place the fabric under the presser foot aligning the edge of
the presser foot with the edge of the fabric. Once the seam is
nished, trim excess fabric outside the seam.
Tip: You can also use the Blind Hem Foot to sew at the very edge of the
fabric. Adjust the extension on the foot, and let it guide along the fabric
edge. Always test sew on a piece of scrap fabric rst, as the result might
vary due to the fabric weight and quality.
