OVERCASTING
Place
the
edge
of
the
material
underneath
the
opening
of
the
sewing foot and
guide
raw
edge along
the center slot
of
the foot
allowing
stitch
to
form
half
on

half
off

SEWING KNITS
The
narrow
zigzag
can
be
used
in
seams
of
firm
knits
for
added
strength.
After
sewing,
open
seam
and
press
flat.
Tiny
zigzag
stitches
can
hardly
be
seen
and
the
seam
will
give
when
stretched.
Generally
on
knits,
however,
try
the
straight
stretch
or
ultra
stretch
stitches.
See
page
35.
