Stretch stitches are mainly for use on knit, or stretchable
fabrics, but can also be used on woven materials.
STRAIGHT STRETCH STITCH
Straight stretch stitch is far stronger than an ordinary straight
stitch because it locks three times - forwards, backwards and
forwards.
It is particularly suitable for reinforcing the seams of
sportswear in stretch and non-stretch fabrics, and for curved
seams which take a lot of strain.
Use this stitch also to top-stitch lapels, collars and cuffs to give
a professional finish to your garments.
OVEREDGE STITCH
This is a similar stitch used by the garment industry in making
sportswear - it sews and finishes the seam in one operation.
It's very effective for use in repairing raw or worn edges of
garments.
FEATHER STITCH
The pleasing appearance of this stitch enables it to be used
for top-stitching, or attaching lace or inset panels.
It is also ideal for quilting applications and joining fabrics.
RIC-RAC STITCH
Ric-rac stitch is primarily used for a decorative top-stitch. It
is ideal for edging neck-bands, armholes, sleeves and hems.
When manually adjusted to a very narrow width, it also can be
used for seaming in areas that will receive stress.
