Straight Stretch
Stitching
Use this stretch stitch with
knitted fabric and other fabrics
that stretch. Sew as you do with
regular straight stitch seaming.
The seam may be pressed open
as with any regular seam, but
will stretch if necessary.
This is also a good stitch to use
on curved seams regardless of
the type of fabric. Any seam that
will receive a great deal of strain
when worn should be sewn with
the stretch stitch. Use in childrens
shorts and slacks as well as adult
sports clothes.
Rick-Rack Stretch
(For model 1510, 1919 and 2640

only.)
Sew on stretch fabrics in any
area that you might use a zigzag
stitch.
This stitch can be used as a
decorative top stitch as well.

To prevent edges from fraying,

sew so that right side stitches
drop outside the edge of material.
Fn some cases overlocking

stitches can be used for
overcasting.
