Adjusting Stitches for
Stretch Fabrics
Guiding and Supporting Fabric
Most fabrics of stretch or knit
construction need only to be guided
in front of the pressor foot when you
use one of the stretch stitches.
Some
fabrics-nylon
tricot
and
ciasticii'ed fabrics, for example- do
require support while being stitched.
1. For nylon tricot and similar syn
thetic knits, apply gentío tension
by holding the seam in front and
back of the presser foot as you
sew.
2. For elasticized fabric, stretch lace,
and knits with an unusual amount
of elasticity, apply firm tension in
front and back of the presser foot
to stretch the seam as the stitches
are being placed.
CAUTION:
Do not pull the fabric
while you are stitching as this may
deflect the needle, causing it to
break.
