STRETCH AND UTILITY STITCH SEWING

STRETCH STITCHING

When sewing knitted or stretch fabrics, choose one of the stretch stitches which

allows the seam to stretch with the fabric without breaking the thread. Select

polyester or cotton covered polyester thread which has an extra amtount or give
and is designed for knits and stretch fabrics.

It is recommended, when sewing stretch fabrics, that a special needle with blue

shaft is used. This will prevent skipping stitches. Also refer to Needle, Thread

and Fabric Chart on page 8 to be sure that you use correct size needle and thread.
