This stitch is recommended for sewing such fabrics as
synthetic knits and stretch velour, as it provides the greatest
amount of elasticity and strength.
Sew along the fabric edge leaving an adequate seam
allowance.
After sewing, trim the seam allowance close to the stitches.

Double overedge stitch

q Pattern:
w Presser foot:
e Thread tension:
This is an excellent stitch for fabrics that tend to ravel
extensively such as linens and gabardines.
Two rows of zigzag stitches are simultaneously sewn over
the edge to insure that fabric will not ravel.
Place the fabric edge next to the guide of the foot and then
sew.
