OVERCAST
Overcast fabric edges to prevent fraying and to help
them lay Á at. It is easiest to overcast before the garment
is sewn together. Presser foot J is recommended for light
and medium weight fabric to prevent puckering along the
edge. Presser foot B is used for heavy weight fabric. Your
Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature will select the
best stitch length and stitch width for the fabric weight and
recommend the presser foot and needle.
FABRIC: Woven medium.
SELECT: Woven medium fabric and Overcast technique. (The
Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature selects a three-
step zigzag stitch.)
USE: Presser foot J and size 80 needle as recommended.
Place the edge of a single thickness of fabric under presser
foot J with the wire guide along the edge of the fabric. The
three-step zigzag stitch sews over the wire guide to keep the
edge of the fabric Á at.
SEW:
• Step on the foot control. The presser foot lowers
automatically.
• Sew to overcast the edge of the fabric.
• Touch the Selective Thread Cutter.
Note: It is not necessary to overcast leather or vinyl because they do
not fray. However, the Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature
allows you to, if desired. Select Leather/Vinyl fabric and Overcast
technique on your Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature.
(The Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature selects a zigzag
stitch).
