What size of zigzag stitch are you doing on normal machine. I don’t have an over locker. Thanks
We don't set a size we just look to make it wide and narrow.
Can you cut your cushion fabric with pinking scissors to save having to zig zag to prevent fraying.
Yes you can do that. We would still overlock the edges on the zip side though.
