This stitch is for sewing a seam with an overcast finish. It is
used when making swim wear, ski pants and other
garments which require stretch.
• To sew
Place raw edges of fabric to the "left" of the needle as
shown. Sew in a manner so that the needle pierces the
fabric very close to the outside edge. Or place the fabric
to allow a 5/8˝ (1.6 cm) seam, then trim the seam
allowance. Raw or worn edges of older garments can be
overcast to prevent further raveling.
NOTE:Use a #11 blue stretch needle, which effectively
prevents skipped stitching.

Knotted edge
Smocking is a delicate decorative treatment used on
children's clothes or women's blouses.
Choose a soft and lightweight fabric such as batiste,
gingham or challis. Cut the fabric three times wider than
the projected width. Set stitch length at "4" and sew rows
of straight stitches 3/8˝ (1.0 cm) apart across the area to
be smocked.
Knot the threads along one edge
edge, pull the bobbin threads (bottom threads) to
distribute the gathers evenly and secure the threads.
Sew the smocking stitches between the gathered rows.
Remove the straight stitches by pulling them out.
