Sew together represents a needlework technique which involves making small zigzag stitches in order to tightly join two cloth pieces together. This approach adds resilience and stops the material from coming apart. The overcast may be used for a range of stitching projects, like sewing the hem, stitching patches, or even making coverlets. It gives a neat and professional look to the finished product.
