STITCH:
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 and
half
off
the
fabric.
The
multiple
stitch
zigzag
is a wiser
choice
for
most
fabrics,
See
page
29.
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
special
stretch
stitches.
See
page
35.
SEWING

button
so
