This stitch is for sewing a seam with an overcast finish. It is
used when making swim wear, ski pants and other
garments which require stretch.
• Starting to sew
Place raw edge of fabric to the" left" 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 5/8" (1.6 cm) seam, then trim seam allowance.
Raw or worn edges of older garments can be overcasted
to prevent further raveling.
