® Stitch length:

Needle thread tension:

® Presser foot A:
Zigzag foot
® Presser foot C:
Overedge foot
NOTE:
Set the stitch width 5.0 to 6.5 when the overedge foot C
is used to prevent needle breakage or damaging the foot.
This is useful in garment construction and in finishing raw
edges of any sewing project.
Start overcasting about 1/8”(0.3cm) inside the raw corner of
a seam. If you start right at the edge, the fabric bunches up
and the stitches become tangled.
