straight stitch, especially developed for
knits and stretch tabrtcs.

fabrics as well. Itworks welt on curved
seams and on any garments that wiif

children's clothes).

and back motion (sometimes
called a "reverse action" stitch),
so that it wilt give when the fabric
stretches instead o| breaking.
This stitch can also be used tor
