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 edge 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
overcasted to prevent further raveling.
NOTE;
Use a #11 blue stretch needle, which effectively
prevents skipped stitching.

Smocking is a delicate decorative treatment 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 cm) apart
across the area to be smocked.
Knot the threads along the edge. Pull the bobbin
threads to distribute the gathers evenly and secure
the threads.
Sew the decorative stitches of your choice between
the gathered rows. Remove the gathering stitches.
NOTE; Loosen the needle thread tension to
make gathering easier.
