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°
o 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"" (1.6 cm) seam,
then trim the seam allowance..
Raw or worn edges of older garments
can be
overcasted
to prevent further
raveling.,
NOTE:
1
Use a #1 1 blue stretch
needle,
which effectively
prevents
skipped
stitching.,

stitches
3/8'" ('1 cm) apart
across
the area to be smocked.
Knot the threads
along the edge°
Pull the bobbin
threads
to distribute
the gathers
evenly and secure
the threads.
Sew the decorative
stitches
of your choice
between
the gathered
rows.
Remove
the gathering
stitches.
