Use this special stretch stitch with knitted fabrics and othre fabrics that stretch. Sew

as you do a regular straight stitch seam. The machine will make triple lock stitches back and forth which gives the stretch to the seam. See illustration.

This stitch enables you tO press open your seam as with any straight stitched seam. The seam will stretch with the fabric without breaking the thread.

This is also a good stitch to use on curved seams that will receive a great deal of strain when worn, such as in children's shorts and slacks as well as adult sport clothes.
