Multi-Step Zigzag Stitch
Slant Overedge Stitch
Multi-step zigzag stitch is used to overcast raw edges. Make
sure the needle pierces the fabric on the left side and overcasts
the edge on the right side.
The stitch can also be used as an elastic stitch to allow seams to
stretch when sewing knit fabrics.
The slant overedge stitch sews the seam and overcasts the edge
all at one time, perfect for stretch fabrics. This stitch is more
elastic than normal seams, very durable and quickly sewn.
Place the fabric under the presser foot aligning the edge of
the presser foot with the edge of the fabric. Once the seam is
nished, trim excess fabric outside the seam.
Tip: You can also use the Blind Hem Foot to sew at the very edge
of the fabric. Adjust the extension on the foot, and let it guide
along the fabric edge. Always test sew on a piece of scrap fabric
rst, the result might vary due to the fabric weight and quality.
