Ribbing Application
The Overedge Stretch Stitch makes sewing seams on knits look as though they
were finished on a serger. This stitch is stronger and more durable than
overlock/serger stitching. The stitch incorporates a straight stitch and a finishing
stitch into one operation. This allows for professional finish on projects, and is
especially popular on sweatshirts.
