A NOTE ON STRETCH STITCHING

Stretch stttching was developed to be used on stretch fabrtcs and knits. It can be

used on other fabrics as well. It works welt 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 Jt

is being sewn,

but is stitched in

a

forward and back motion

(somettmes

called a

"reverse-action"

stitch), so that

it

will give when the fabric stretches instead of breaking.
