Open Seams with Overedge
Stitching
This technique is ideal for making an unlined garment when the seam al-
lowances may show. Just like the previous technique, this also prevents
raveling of the fabric and makes a professional finish on woven and knit
fabrics.
Machine Set-Up:
Stitch: Stretch Overedge or Serge Stitch
Stitch Width: 5 or 7
Stitch Length: See manual
Presser Foot: Overedge Foot* or Standard Foot
Materials:
(2) 4” x 3” pieces of heavy woven fabric
Procedure:
Place one piece of fabric under the foot, aligning the fabric edge
so that the stitch forms just on the edge of the fabric.
Place the second piece of fabric under the foot, aligning the fabric
edge so that the stitch forms just on the edge of the fabric. Sew.
Change to the Standard Foot and set the machine for a straight stitch.
With right sides together, join the two pieces of fabric. Align the
two finished edges with a 5/8” seam allowance guide.
Open seam flat and press.
*Depending on model, the Overedge Foot might be optional. Check instruction manual.
