Overcasting

Overcasting is used to prevent the fabric edges from

fraying.

RECOMMENDED INITIAL SETTINGS

Pattern: Zigzag stitch

Needle position: Center

Stitch length: 1 - 2

Stitch width: Variable

Foot: General purpose

1. Place fabric under presser foot, positioning the

edge of the fabric in the center of the foot slot, as

shown in illustration 1.

2. Adjust stitch width so that one stitch is inside the

fabric and the other is just off of the edge of the

fabric, as shown in illustration 2. This procedure

allows the thread to wrap over the fabric edge.
