This stitch is excellent for sewing fabrics that tend to fray
extensively such as linens and gabardines.
Two rows of zigzag stitches are simultaneously sewn
over the edge to insure that your seams will not ravel.
Carefully guide the fabric so the needle falls off the edge
when it swings to the right.
Place your fabric to allow a 5/8˝ (1.5 cm) seam. Trim
excess close to the stitching. Be careful not to cut the
stitches.

front, center back and side seams, and pin the elastic to
the fabric.
