The stitch types in this class are formed with one or more
groups of threads, and have as a general characteristic that
loops from at least one group of threads pass around the edge
of the material.
The loops form a narrow band of stitching along the edge of the
fabric with threads intersecting at the edge and preventing the
fabric from fraying.
All have high elasticity, they do not unravel easily, and a
trimming knife on the machine ensures a neat edge prior to
sewing.
These stitches are often called overedge, overcast, over lock,
serge, or merrow.
