Overedge Stitch
q Stitch pattern: 09
w Thread tension dial: 3 to 7
e Presser foot: Overedge foot C
This stitch pattern combines the straight and the zigzag
stitches, using the overedge foot, to seam and overcast
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 and 7.0.
The blue tipped needle is recommended for stretch
materials.

This stitch is used to finish seams 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 zigzag variation is very useful in garment
construction and in finishing raw edges of any sewing
project.
The black ridge and the guide wires on the overedge
foot keep the edge neat and the fabric straight.
Place your fabric so that the double guide wires come
to the edge. The machine will stitch over these wires.
The black ridge will keep loose threads in so that
the needle can stitch over them.
As you sew, be sure your fabric edge pushes up against
the black ridge.
NOTE:
Stitch width should be set between 5.0 and 7.0.
The blue tipped needle is recommended for stretch
materials.
