Ribbing Application

The Overedge Stretch Stitch makes sewing seams on knits look as though they

were finished on a serger. This stitch is stronger and more durable than

overlock/serger stitching. The stitch incorporates a straight stitch and a finishing

stitch into one operation. This allows for professional finish on projects, and is

especially popular on sweatshirts.
