straight stitch, especially deveJoped for knits
and stretch fabrics.

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 wall 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 isometimes called a "reverse-action" stitch), so that it will give instead of break when
the fabric stretches.
