The Stitch
and Its Uses
This
stitch
is the stretch
varia-
tion
of
the
straight
stitch,
especially
developed
for
knits
and
stretch
fabrics.
Stretch
stitching
can
be used
on other
fabrics
as well.
It works well on
curved
seams
and
on
any
garments
that will receive a great
deal
of
strain
(ex:
children's
clothes).
J
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.
