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.
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.
HONEYCOMB STITCH
3. With a narrow strip of fabric directly under the line of
gathering, stitch over the gathers. The design will be a
series of small diamonds.
FEATHER STITCH
It is also ideal for quilting application and faggoting.
