C is used to prevent needle breakage or damaging the foot.
• Overcasting Variations
Multiple zigzag:
This stitch is used to finish seam allowance on synthetics and
other fabrics that tend to pucker. This machine is excellent
for darning and mending tears in fabric.
Knit stitch:
This stitch is recommended for sewing fabrics such as
swimwear and stretch velour as it provides the greatest amount
of elasticity and strength.
A pressure of “1” is recommended so that the knit will retain
shape as you are sewing.
Double overedge stitch:
This stitch is an excellent stitch for fabrics that tend to fray
extensively such as linens and gabardines.
Two rows of zigzag stitches are simulitaneously sewn over
the edge to insure that your seams will not ravel.
