Overedged Seams
Seams in knit and stretch fabric can be joined
and finished in one operation. Two different
methods may be used. Method No. 1 is
recommended for firm fabrics where a 6mm
(1/4”) seam allowance Is adequate. Method
No. 2 is' recommended for bulky knits and
fabrics that have a tendency to curl or fray
and where a wider seam allowance is needed
for support. Make a test sample to help you
decide which method is best for your fabric
and garment.
Rem em ber to use a Catalog
2045 ball-point (yellow band) needle if you

1. Cut and fit the garment, allowing for a
1.6cm (5/8”) seam allowance. Baste seam
line.
2. Trim seam edge evenly to a scant 6mm
(1/4”) from seam line basting.
3. Place seam under the presser foot so that
the straight stitches fall on the basted
seam line and zig-zag stitches toward the
seam edge A, as illustrated.
Method No. 2 — Mock Overedging
1. Cut and fit garment, allowing for a 1.6cm
(5/8”) seam allowance. Baste seam line.
2. Place seam under presser foot so that the
straight stitches fall on the basted seam
line and zig-zag stitches toward the seam
