Tired of looking at those fraying raw edges and want to step up your sewing game. Even if you don't have a serger, you can still get a nice finished edge from your sewing machine. The overcast stitch is a utility stitch found on most sewing machines, in fact, some even have two or three options which allows you to choose the best one for your fabric. The overcast stitch can be used on both knit and woven fabrics and can even do a seam and finish in one step, like you see on knit clothing. It's also a great way to cut down on fraying for woven fabrics. Overall, this is a great option to utilize for finishing your seams for a professional look on all of your garment sewing.
