This stitch is for sewing
a seam with an overcast
finish.
It is used when making
swim wear, ski pants
and other garments
which
require stretch.
* To Sew:
Place raw edge of fabric to the "left"
of the needle as
shown.
Sew in a manner so that the needle pierces
the fabric very close to the outside
edge.
Or place the fabric to allow a 5/8" (1.6 cm) seam,
then trim the seam allowance.
Raw or worn edges of older garments
can be
overcasted
to prevent
further raveling.
NOTE:
Use a #11 blue stretch needle,
which
effectively
prevents
skipped
stitching.
