Straight Stretch Stitch
for Woven Fabrics
This stitch is wonderful for built-in strength! It is ideal when sewing
heavy-weight fabrics or when it is desired to have a bolder straight stitch.
Try it as a topstitch on jeans, a home decorating project, or when an
extra-strong seam is needed, such as children’s clothing.
Machine Set-Up:
Stitch:
Triple Straight Stitch
Stitch Width: 0, no width
Stitch Length: Stretch setting
Presser Foot: Standard Foot
Materials:
Denim, folded in half
Procedure:
Sew on the two layers.
Note: Slowly turn the handwheel and watch the needle repeat each
stitch 3 times. Because the stitch repeats, it is much stronger.
