The Stitch and Its Uses
This stitch is the stretch variation of
the straight stitch, especially develop-
ed for knits and stretch fabrics.
Stretch stitch can be used on other
fabrics as well. It works well on
curved seams and on any garments
that will receive agreat deal of strain
(ie. children's clothes).
The stretch stitch does not
actually stretch as it is being
sewn, but is stitched in a
forward and back motion
(sometimes called a "reverse-
action" stitch), so that it will
give when the fabric stretches
instead of breaking. This stitch
can also be used for topstitching
on all fabrics.
