Sewing

Overcast

Overcast fabric edges to prevent fraying and to help

them lay Á at. It is easiest to overcast before the garment

is sewn together. Presser foot J is recommended for light

and medium weight fabric to prevent puckering along the

edge. Presser foot B is used for heavy weight fabric. Your

Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature will select the

best stitch length and stitch width for the fabric weight

and recommend the presser foot and needle.

FABRIC: Woven medium.

SELECT: Woven medium fabric and Overcast technique.

(The Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature selects a

three-step zigzag stitch.)

USE: Presser foot J and size 80 needle as recommended.

Place the edge of a single thickness of fabric under

presser foot J with the wire guide along the edge of the

fabric. The three-step zigzag stitch sews over the wire

guide to keep the edge of the fabric Á at.

SEW:

• Step on the foot control. The presser foot lowers

automatically.

• Sew to overcast the edge of the fabric.

• Touch the Selective Thread Cutter.

Note: It is not necessary to overcast leather or vinyl because they

do not fray. However, the Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™

feature allows you to, if desired. Select Leather/Vinyl fabric and

Overcast technique on your Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™

feature. (The Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature selects a

zigzag stitch).
