Professional Serger-Style Edge Finishing Without a Serger

The KM39196 Overcast Foot is a specialized presser foot designed for low-shank sewing machines that delivers professional serged/overlock edge finishes without needing a separate serger machine. Perfect for preventing fraying and creating clean, finished edges on all your sewing projects.

Key Features & Benefits

• Mimics a Serger: Achieve professional-looking, finished edges similar to those made by an overlocker or serger
• Metal Bar Design: Small metal bridge in the center provides extra thread slack and holds fabric edges flat, preventing bunching, curling, and puckering
• Built-in Fabric Guide: Front extension helps line up raw edges for neat and consistent finishing
• Prevents Fraying: Keeps fabric edges from unraveling and fraying
• Universal Low-Shank Fit: Compatible with most low-shank domestic sewing machines
• Durable Construction: Built to last through countless projects

How to Use

1. Attach the Foot: Install the KM39196 foot onto your machine's presser foot holder
2. Select Stitch: Choose an over-edge stitch, overlock stitch, or wide zigzag stitch on your machine
3. Test First: Manually rotate the handwheel to ensure the needle clears the metal bar and won't hit any metal
4. Sew: Line the raw edge against the guide and begin sewing, keeping the edge aligned
5. Pro Tip: Trim raw edges evenly before sewing for the neatest results (this foot does not trim fabric like a serger)
