This stitch is used to finish the seam allowance on
synthetics and other fabrics that tend to pucker. The
stitch is also excellent for darning and mending tears.
Place your fabric to allow a 5/8˝ (1.5 cm) seam. Trim
excess close to stitching. Be careful not to cut the
stitches.

This stitch pattern combines the straight and the zigzag
stitches, using the overedge foot, to stitch and overcast
seams in one step.
It is ideal for 1/4˝ (0.6 cm) seams on knits (when
attaching ribbing) or on medium to heavyweight woven
fabrics where you want a narrow seam.
Place your fabric so that the raw edges fit under the wire
guides and touch the black ridge.
NOTE:
Stitch width should be set between 5.0 to 7.0.
The blue tip needle is recommended for stretch
materials.
