This stitch
is for sewing a seam
with an overcast
finish.
lt is used when making
swim wear, ski
pants
and other
garments
which require stretch.
.
To
Sew:
Place
raw edge of fabric
lo the
"|eft"
of the needle as
shown. Sew
in a manner so
that the needle
pierces
the
fabric very close to
the
outside
edge.
Or
place
the fabric to allow a 5/g'(1.6
cm) seam,
then trim
the seam allowance.
Raw or worn edges of
older
garments
can be
overcasted
to
prevent
further raveling.
NOTE:
Use a #11 blue
stretch needle, which effectively
prevents
skipped
stitching.
