Adjusting Stitches
for Streatch Fabrics
Guiding and Supporting
Fabric
Most fabrics of stretch or knit construction
need only to be guided in front of the presser
foot when you use one of the stretch stitches.
Some fabrics — nylon tricot and elasticlzed
fabrics, for example — do require support while
being stitched.
1.
For nylon tricot and similar synthetic knits,
apply gentle 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.
