The Stitch and Its Uses
This stitch pattern combines the straight and
the zigzag stitches, using the overedge foot,
to stitch and overcast seams m one step.
It also has a reverse cycfe to provide
elasticity for knits and extra strength for
woven fabrics.
Use this stitch when you want a narrow
seam that you do not need to press open
flat. It is _deal for 1/4" seams on knits
(when attaching ribbing} or on medium to
heavyweight woven fabrics where you want
a narrow seam.
Black ridge and brush
guide
Here's How
1. Place your fabric so that the raw edges
fit under the w_re guides and touch the
black ridge and brush guide.
2. Gently grade the fabric so that the raw
edges always touch the black ridge and
brush guide.
NOTE:
When sewing over several thick-
nesses (under arms, m crotch,
etc.) raise the presser foot slightly
to ease the presser foot over the
hump and keep stitches from
bunching.
3.
When you stop sewing, remove the
fabric by drawing it to the back and
out. The fabric or stitching will catch
on the Wad guides if you pull it toward
you.
