STRETCH AND SPECIAL STITCHES
You'll use this basic stitch often- for garment construction
or anywhere else you would use a straight stitch for seaming --
p|ain, pressed-open or double-stitched, tf you want a good
looking top stitch on knits, use straight stretch ... particularly for
strength when making sportswear. And when you do curved
seams on children's shorts or slacks, for example, the straight
stretch stitch really adds life!
