Use this stretch stitch with knitted
fabric and other fabrics that stretch.
Sew as you do with regular straight
stitch seaming° The seam may be press-
ed open as with any regular seam, but
will stretch if necessary.
This is also a good stitch to use on
curved seams regardless of the type of
fabric, Any seam that will receive a
great deal of strain when worn should
be sewn with the stretch stitch. Use in
children's shorts and slacks as well as
adult sports clothes.
