STRETCH STITCH 17 When you use the straight stretch stitch to seam knit, stretch, and elasticized fabric, "stretch" and strength are built in as the seam is being sewn. Because it is equally useful for closed or press-open seam construction and will not break thread under stress, the straight stretch stitch is also good for seams that receive an unusual amount of strain when worn. For example: crotch seaming, sleeve insertion and construction seams in sportswear and bathing suits. 1. Use standard zigzag foot. 2. Set stretch stitch lever exactly to right. 3. Set zigzag width control dial at number "0" (for straight) or any number (for zigzag stretch stitch). 4. Set stitch dial to mark "5" when you sew stretch stitch. I" J." i Fig. 29 CAUTION - It is difficult to remove this stitch from fabric. Pre-fit garment before using this stitch. • TOPSTITCHING Because this stitch is heavier than an ordinary straight stitch, it is ideal for top-stitching, particularly on knits.
