NOTE:
When using the straight stitch foot, make sure to use
center needle position. Otherwise the needle may
strike
the presser foot and possibly break.
This strong, durable
stitch is recommended where both
elasticity and strength are
necessary
in
order
to insure
comfort and
durability.
Use
it
to reinforce areas such as crotch and armhole seams
as well as to eliminate puckering
on knits and stretch
fabrics. Also, use when
constructing items requiring extra
strength such as backpacks.
