Multi-Step Zigzag Stitch
Multi-step zigzag stitch is used to overcast raw edges. Make
sure the needle pierces the fabric on the left side and overcasts
the edge on the right side.
The stitch can also be used as an elastic stitch to allow seams
to stretch when sewing knit fabrics.
Slant Overedge Stitch
The slant overedge stitch sews the seam and overcasts the edge
all at one time, perfect for stretch fabrics. This stitch is more
elastic than normal seams, very durable and quickly sewn.
Place the fabric under the presser foot aligning the edge of the
presser foot with the edge of the fabric. Once the seam is
finished, trim excess fabric outside the seam.
Tip: Use the Blind Hem foot to sew at the very edge of the
fabric. Adjust the extension on the foot, and let it guide along
the fabric edge. Always test sew on a piece of scrap fabric first,
the result might vary due to the fabric weight and quality.
