Singer 5107 - Slant Overedge

SLANT OVEREDGE STITCH
Although the slant
overedge stitch may be
used creatively, it is primarily
applied in finish-
| ing seams, hems and
facing edges. Use it to overedge
seams that require stretch
such as i-
.
crotch seams. It is particularly
helpful in ski suit,
snowsuit and swimsuit construction.

Make a test sample to determine the
suitability
of an
overedge
seam
finish
for your
garment.
Duplicate the
grain or direction of knit of your
garment seam. Adjust
thread tension to suit
fabric. Use an appropriate
needle in the
machine for a synthetic knit. (See
Fabric,
Thread and Needle Table
on page 8.)
. Baste the garment together
on the seam line
allowing for 1.5cm
(5X8 inch) seam allowance
and fit in the
usual way.
. After making any necessary
adjustments,
trim seam edge evenly to a scant
5mm (1 /4
inch)
from seam line basting.
* Place trimmed seam under
the foot so that the
straight stitches fall on
the basted seam line
and
slanted
stitches
fall
over the
seam
edge.
