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
topst_tching on all fabrics.
Stretch stitching was developed
to be used on stretch fabrics and
knits. It 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
actually stretch as it is being
sewn, but _s stitched in a
forward and back motion
(sometimes called a "reverse-
action" stitch), so that it will
gwe when the fabric stretches
instead of breaking.
