Overcast is a sewing technique which involves making small in-out stitches to tightly fasten two cloth pieces together. This technique gives durability and prevents the fabric from fraying. The overcast is used for a range of stitching projects, including sewing the hem, sewing patches, or even making coverlets. It offers a neat and professional look to the final piece.
