SEAMS
This
stitch
may
be
used
on
knits
and
woven
fabrics,
in
areas
of
stress
as
a
reinforcement
stitch.
It
is
ex
celnt
for
curved
seams
such as
armholes
and
crotch
seams.
For
active
wear
such
as
ski
pants
and
girdle
fabrics
which
endure
a
lot
of
stress
in
bending
and
stretching,
this
stitch
may
be
used
for
seaming
throughout
the
garment.

Itis
difficult
to
remove
this
stitch
from
fabric.
Pre-f
it
garment
before
using
this
stitch.
PROCEDURE:
•
The
elastic
triple
straight
stitch
is
used
when
a
straight
line
of
stitching
is
desired
so
that
seams
may be
pressed
open
(slacks
for
example).
•
This
stitch
is
especially
useful
where
the
tiny
zigzag
seam
will
not
hold
its
shape
and
the
straight
stitch
will
break.
•
Apply
this
stitch
to
areas
of
stress
on
both
wovens
and
knits
(crotch
seam
and
under
arm
for
example).
•
Use
this
stitch
for
tightly
fitted
garments
that
need
a
lot
of
stretch,
such
as
ski
pants,
girdles
and
bathing
suits.
•
If
puckering
becomes
a
problem,
use
the
straight
stitch
foot.
