Overcast is a needlework technique which involves making small in-out stitches in order to securely connect two cloth pieces together. This technique gives strength and stops the fabric from unraveling. The backstitch is used for a selection of sewing projects, including sewing the hem, stitching patches, or even creating blankets. It gives a tidy and skilled look to the final item.
