Stretch Stitch
The Stitch and Its Uses
ThJs stttch can be used for sewing a
seam with an overcast finish.
The seam is formed and finished m
one operation. It can be used when
you are making sw{mwear, sk_ pants
and other garments that requrre
stretch.
Here's How
Place the raw edge of the fabric to
the LEFT of the needle as shown,
Stitch so the needle p=erces the fabric
just short of the outside edge.
Or, place your fabric to allow a 5/8"
seam, then trim seam allowance
after.
Raw or worn edges of older garments
can be overcast to prevent further
raveling.
NOTE: Use a blue stretch fabric
needle, which effectively
prevents skipped st{tches.
