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" (!,,6cm) seam, then trim 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.
