Stretch Stitch
The Stitch and Its Uses
This stitch is the stretch variation
ot the straight stitch, especially
developed for knits and stretch
tabric. Stretch stitching can be
used on other fabric as welt. It
works well on curved seams and
on any garments that wilt receive
a great deal ot strain (ex: 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 tabric
stretches instead ot breaking.
This stitch can also be used for
topstitching on ail tabrics.
