This zigzag variation is very useful in garment construction
and in finishing raw edges of any sewing project.
z The black ridge and the guide wires on the overedge
foot keep the edge neat and the fabric straight.
x Place your fabric so that the double guide wires come
to the edge. The machine will stitch over these wires.
The black ridge will keep the loose threads in so that
the needle can stitch over them.
c As you sew, be sure your fabric edge pushes up
against the black ridge.
CAUTION:
When using an Overedge foot, make sure to set the stitch
width between 5 and 7, otherwise the needle may hit the
overedge foot.

This stitch is used to finish the seam allowance on
synthetics and other fabrics that tend to pucker. The stitch
is also excellent for darning and mending tears.
Place your fabric to allow a 5/8˝ (1.5 cm) seam. Trim
excess close to stitching. Be careful not to cut the
stitches.

This stitch pattern combines the straight and the zigzag
stitches, using the overedge foot, to stitch and overcast
seams in one step.
It is ideal for 0.6 cm (1/4" ) seams on knits (when
attaching ribbing) or on medium to heavyweight woven
fabrics where you want a narrow seam.
Place your fabric so that the raw edges fit under the wire
guides and touch the black ridge.
NOTE:
Stitch width cannot be set narrower than 4.5.
