Use this stretch stitch with knitted fabric and other, fabrics that stretch.
Sew as you do with regular straight
stitch seaming. The seam may be pressed open as with any regular seam, but will stretch if necessary.
This is also a good stitch to use on curved seams regardless of the type of fabric. Any seam that will receive a great deal of strain when worn should be sewn with the stretch
stitch. Use in children's shorts and slacks as well as adult sports clothes,
