The Stitch and Its Uses

This stitch is the stretch variation of the

straight stitch, especially developed for knits

and stretch fabrics.

This stitch can also be used for topstitchtng.

Stretch stitching was developed to be used on stretch fabrics and knits. It can be
used on other fabrics as well. It works well on curved seams and on any

garments that will receive a great deal of strain {ie, children’s clothes).

The stretch stitch does not actually stretch as it is being sewn, but is stitched in a

forward and back motion (sometimes called a "reverse-action" stitch), so that it

will give when the fabric stretches instead of breaking.
