A NOTE ON STRETCH STITCHING

Stretch stitching was developed to be used on stretch fabrics and knits, It can be used on other fabrics as well. It works wall 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 it is being sewn, but is stitched in a forward and

back motion isometimes called a "reverse-action" stitch), so that it will give instead of break when the fabric stretches.
