The Seam/Overcast technique is perfect for stitching
ribbed neckbands and cuffs.

sides together. Sew the ribbing to the fabric with a 1/4'' (6
mm) seam allowance. Stretch the ribbing while sewing.
SEAM AND OVERCAST
The Seam/Overcast stitch sews the seam and overcasts
the edges all at one time. There are a number of different
Seam/Overcast stitches on your machine. Your Exclusive
SEWING ADVISOR™ feature will select the best one for
your fabric and make all adjustments automatically.

SELECT: Stretch light and Seam/Overcast on the Exclusive
SEWING ADVISOR™ feature.

SEW:
• Place fabric pieces right sides together. Put the fabric
in position under the presser foot with the wire guide
on the foot along the edge of the fabric.
• Step on the foot control. The presser foot lowers
automatically.
