MOCK OVEREDGING • Stitch: Slant Overedge ,e Disc 76 • Stitch Width: 5 • Needle Position:A • Stitch Length: 6 • Stitch Balance: Equalized • Speed: MIN • Zig-Zag Plate • Zig-Zag Foot When it is not practical to overedge a seam because of fabric construction, a mock overedge finish can be applied. This finish is appropriate for bulky knits, stretchy sweater knits, fine tricots, and fabrics that curl or fray. Procedure Make a test sample to check machine adjustments, including pressure setting, before beginning garment construction. • Baste the garment together on the seam line and fit in the usual way. • After making any necessary adjustments, 11 place seam under the presser foot. Stitch so that the stitches on the left side of the pat- tern penetrate the basted seam line. • Press after stitching and trim away excess fabric to produce a narrow seam edge. When the seam supports the garment, omit the trimming step. FINISHES FOR HEMS AND FACINGS Hems and facing edges in knit and stretch fabrics will be less apt to press through and mark when given a flat edge finish. Edge finishing with the multi-stitch zig-zag stitch, honeycomb stitch or slant overedge stitch (disc 76) eliminates the bulk of turned-in fabric edges and retains fabric flexibility. Make a test sample to determine the best stitch for your fabric. Place stitching about 1/8 inch from hem or facing edge. Press after stitching and trim away excess fabric close to the stitching line. it at 7.4 Mock Overedging Finished Hem Edge Applying Facing Finish 49

When
it
is
not
practical
to
overedge
a
seam
because
of
fabric
construction,
a
mock
over
-
edge
finish
can
be
applied.
This
finish
is
ap-
propriate
for
bulky
knits,
stretchy
sweater
knits,
fine
tricots,
and
fabrics
that
curl
or
fray.
Procedure
Make
a
test
sample
to
check
machine
adjust-
ments,
including
pressure
setting,
before
beginning
garment
construction.
•
Baste
the
garment
together
on
the
seam
line
and
fit
in
the
usual
way.
•
After
making
any
necessary
adjustments,
place
seam
under
the
presser
foot.
Stitch
so
that
the
stitches
on
the
left
side
of
the
pat-
tern
penetrate
the
basted
seam
line.
•
Press
after
stitching
and
trim
away
excess
fabric
to
produce
a
narrow
seam
edge.
When
the
seam
supports
the
garment,
omit
the
trimming
step.
FINISHES
FOR
HEMS
AND
FACINGS
Hems
and
facing
edges
in
knit
and
stretch
fabrics
will
be
less
apt
to
press
through
and
mark
when
given
a
flat
edge
finish.
Edge
finishing
with
the
multi
-stitch
zig-zag
stitch,
honeycomb
stitch
or
slant
overedge
stitch
(disc
76)
eliminates
the
bulk
of
turned
-in
fabric
edges
and
retains
fabric
flexibility.
Make
a
test
sample
to
determine
the
best
stitch
for
your
fabric.
Place
stitching
about
1
/
8
inch
from
hem
or
facing
edge.
Press
after
stitching
and
trim
away
excess
