Straight Stitch Foot
Use this special stretch stitch with knitted
fabrics and othre fabrics that stretch, Sew
as you do a regular straight stitch seam.
The machine will make tnple lock stitches
back and forth which gives the stretch to
the seam. See illustration,
This stitch enables you to pr_ open your
seam as with any straight stitched seam.
The seam will stretch with the fabnc
without breaking the thread.
This is also a good stitch to use on curved
seams that will receive a great deal of
strain when worn, such as in children's
shorts and slacks as well as adult sport
clothes,
