the raw edges of any sewing project.

Seam finishing
This stitch is used to finish the seam allowance on
synthetics and other fabrics that tend to pucker.
Place your fabric to allow a 1.6 cm (518") seam.
Trim the seam allowance after sewing.
NOTE
: Be careful not to cut the stitches.
Mending
Position the tear under the needle, so that the stitch
catches both sides.
