allowance that will usually be pressed open. In most cases,
edges of the seam allowance are finished with an overcast
stitch before sewing the seam.
Seams in stretch fabric must stretch with the fabric. The
stretch stitch makes a stretchy seam that is suitable for
sewing together pieces of light stretch fabric.
