The Stitch and Its Uses
This stitch is the stretch variation of
the straight stitch, especially develop-
ed for knits and stretch fabrics.
Stretch stitch can be used on other
fabrics as well. It works well on
curved seams and on any garments
that will receive a great deal of strain
(ie. children's clothes).
The stretch stitch does not
actually stretch as it is being
sewn, but is stitched in a
forward and back motion
(sometimes called a "reverse-
action" stitch), so that it will
give when the fabric stretches
instead of breaking. This stitch
can also be used for topstitching
on all fabrics.
