Thanks for the video! I have trouble staying at the edge of the fabric, especially with lighter fabrics like linen. Some tutorials suggest completing a zigzag close to your straight stitch and trimming off excess afterwards. Are there any downsides to that method?
Make sure you’re pulling the fabric taut while you’re sewing. I use one hand on either side of the fabric to make sure it doesn’t get the chance to bunch.
Thank you so much for showing a very simple, neat and uncomplicated way to finishing seams. Very much appreciated.
I’m a beginner sewist, and this was a very simple and clean instructional video! Thank you for making it!
straight to the point, easy to follow, and clearly articulated. thank you!
Great visual instructions. I just recently discovered the overcast foot and stitch on my machine. Makes it look so professional!
Changed my dear singer life! Thank you
This was so helpful! The quality of this video made it so easy to see what was happening and follow along
Thanks Tilly loving your videos and makes any chance you could choose another item from your book to sew x
Having hard time with the zigzag stitch on swimwear! I will def actually finish this project…
Suggestion: zig zagging seam edges of fabric before, pinning, and sewing them together in case you need to make adjustments or alterations.
Thank you! This was short sweet and to the point. great video!
Thank you so much. I was looking for a specific technique. I found it here. Thank you for sharing this.

I would like to know as well!
I am wondering the same thing, perhaps if you cut the zigzag by accident when trimming, that would make a downside?
Short and sweet, thanks!
So lovely and clear.
My fabric keeps getting pulled together by the zigzag stitch, almost forming a little tunnel instead of a clean look. Is the fabric im using too thin?
Did you figure it out?
Check your tension. Might be a bit tight

I think you can tie a knot by hand at the end, instead of backstitching
