This stitch is used to finish a raw edge of synthetics
and other stretch fabrics that tend to pucker. Sew
along the fabric edge leaving extra seam allowance.
After sewing, trim off the seam allowance close to the
stitches as shown.
CAUTION:
Do not set the stitch width less than 5 when using
the overedge foot to prevent the needle from
hitting the wires on the foot.
Place the raw edge of the fabric next to the guide of
the foot and start sewing.
