Variety of Overcasting Stitches
Multiple zigzag stitch (Tricot stitch)
This stitch is used to finish a raw edge of synthetics
and other stretch fabrics that tend to pucker.
Sew along the fabric edge leaving an adequate seam
allowance.
After sewing, trim the seam allowance close to the
stitches.

This stitch can be used to simultaneously seam and
overcast edges of fabrics.
Use this stitch when you do not need to open seams
flat.

the fabric so the needle falls off the edge when it
