When using the straight stitch foot, make sure to set the
stitch width control at 0. Otherwise the needle may strike
the Presser foot and possibly break.
This strong, durable stitch is recommended where both
elasticity and strength are necessary 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.
