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
• To sew
Place raw edge of fabric to the "left" of the needle as shown
Sew in a manner so that the needle piemes the fabric very
close to the outside edge, Or place the fabric to allow a
5/8"(1.6 cm) seam, then trim seam allowance,
Raw or worn edges of older garments can be overcasted to
prevent further raveling,

NOTE:
Use a #11 blue stretch needle, which effectively
prevents skipped stitching.
