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.
