Stretch stitches are mainly for use on knit, or stretchable
fabrics, but can also be used on ordinary woven materials.
STRAIGHT STRETCH STITCH
Straight stretch stitch is far stronger than an ordinary straight
stitch because it locks three times - forwards, backwards and
forwards.
It is particularly suitable for reinforcing the seams of
sportswear in stretch and non-stretch fabrics, and for curved
seams which take a lot of strain.
Use this stitch also to top-stitch lapels, collars and cuffs to give
a professional finish to your garments.
OVEREDGE STITCH
This is the same type stitch used by the garment industry in
making sportswear - it forms and finishes the seam in one
operation.
It's very effective for use in repairing raw or worn edges of
older garments.
RIC-RAC STITCH
The ric-rac stitch is provides a bold topstitch for decorative
borders. It is ideal for edging neck-bands, armholes, sleeves
and hems.
FEATHER STITCH
This stitch can be used for topstitching and for attaching lace
and trims.
It is also ideal for quilting application and faggoting.
