A NOTE ON STRETCH STITCHING
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 îs being sewn, but is stitched in a forward and
back motion fsometimes called a "reversO'action“ stitch), so îhac it will give instead of break
when the fabric stretches.
