SECTION VI. STRETCH STITCHES

Straight Stretch

1	Stitch selector:	6 to 8
2	Stitch width:	6.5
3	Stitch length:	Gold stretch stitch position
4	Needle thread tension:	2 to 6
5	Presser foot A:	Zigzag foot

NOTE:

When using the straight stitch foot, make sure to use center needle position. Otherwise the needle may strike the presser foot and possibly break.

This strong, durable stitch is recommended where both elasticity and strength are necessary in order to insure comfort and durability.

Use it to reinforce areas such as crotch and armhole seams as well as to eliminate puckering on knits and stretch fabrics. Also, use when constructing items requiring extra strength such as backpacks.
