This is the same type of stitch used by
the garment industry in making sports-
wear. It is used for seams of 3/8" to
1/4". The seam is formed and finished in
one operation. It must be used when you
are making swimwear, ski pants and other
garments that require stretch.
Fig. 1 shows the raw edge finished.
Stitch so the needle pierces the fabric just
short of the outside edge.
Raw or worn edges of older garments can
be overcast to prevent further raveling.
