If using the zigzag foot, start overcasting
with the leftmost
needle position about 1/8"
(0.3 cm) from the raw edge of a
seam. The right tip of the stitch should just clear the seam
edge.
For lightweight
fabrics, use the overedge foot. To sew, line
the fabric edge up with the inner side of the brush holder
