Stretch Stitch
The Stitch and Its Uses
This stitch =Sthe stretch variation of
the straight stitch, especially develop-
ed for knits and stretch fabrics.
This stitch can aiso be used for
topstitch=rig on all fabrics.
Stretch stitching was developed
to be used on stretch fabrics and
knits, tt can be used on other
fabrics as well. tt 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
actuatiy stretch as it Isbeing
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.
