OVEREDGE STITCH
This is the same type stitch used by the
garment industry in making sportswear
- it forms and finishes the seam in one
operation.
It’s very effective for use in repairing raw or
worn seams of garments.
The Feather Stitch enables it to be used
for decorative topstitching or for attaching
laces and trims.
It is also ideal for quilting applications and
edge-joining.

RIC-RAC STITCH
Ric-rac is primarily used for a decorative
top-stitch. It is ideal for edging neck-bands,
armholes, sleeves and hems. When
manually adjusted to a very narrow width,
it also can be used for sewing high stress
seams.
The Double overlock stitch has three main
uses. It is perfect for attaching flat elastic,
for overcasting, and for seaming and
overcasting in one operation. It is primarily
used on slightly stretch fabrics and non-
stretch fabrics such as linen, tweed, and
medium to heavy-weight cotton.
