Stretch Stitch
The Stitch and Its Uses
This stitch is the stretch variation of
the straight stitch, especially develop-
ed for knits and stretch fabrics.
This stitch can also be used for
topstitching on all fabrics.
Stretch stitching was developed
to be used on stretch fabrics and
knits, It 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
cloth es)o
The stretch stitch does not
actually stretch as it is being
sewn, but ts 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,
