Overcast is a needlework technique which involves making small in and out stitches to firmly fasten two cloth pieces together. This technique provides durability
and prevents the fabric from unraveling. The overcast may be used
for a range of stitching projects, such as sewing the hem, sewing patches, or even making coverlets. It offers a tidy and professional look to the final item.
