Slant Overedge Stitch

The Slant Overedge Stitch can be used to sew a seam and seam finish simultaneously along the raw edge of the fabric.  It can be helpful to use an Overedge Foot to help prevent the fabrics from puckering at the edges.

Applications

Seam with Seam Finish

The Slant Overedge Stitch is a stretch stitch, but it can be used on stretch fabrics and non-stretch fabrics (wovens) as well. It sews a seam and a seam finish, all at the same time. Sew the stitch with the left side on the seam line of your project. Trim excess seam allowance when finished sewing.

Decorative Stitching

Use this stitch to embellish your sewing projects with a single row, multiple rows, or even in combination with other decorative stitches. Experiment with various types of thread such as rayon thread, all-purpose thread, metallic thread, topstitching thread, or even 30wt and 12wt cotton. Use a needle that is appropriate for the type of thread you are using. It is also helpful to use a stabilizer to help support the stitches. Learn more about needles and stabilizer on the SINGER website.
