Overcast symbolizes a needlework technique that involves making small zigzag stitches in order to tightly fasten two cloth pieces together. This technique provides durability and prevents the fabric from unraveling. The overcast can be used for a range of stitching projects, including sewing the hem, stitching patches, or even making blankets. It provides a clean and expert look to the final piece.
