Singer Overlocking Foot

The Overcasting Edge foot is used to create a seam finish at the edge of a seam allowance. It can also be used to sew a seam at the same time as sewing an edge finish.

It takes the stitches over the edge of the fabric with the small bar in the center of the foot which wraps the thread around the edge of the fabric as you sew.
Your machine may have some overcasting stitches already. Consult your machine manual for which stitches are for overcasting. Or alternatively, you can use a zig-zag stitch. When using a Zig Zag stitch make sure that the needle does not hit the bar in the center.

• Prevent fabric edges unraveling when used with an overlock or zigzag stitch
• Keeps edges from curling up while sewing, thanks to the metal bar on the presser foot
