Stretch Stitches (Model 12614 only)
® Straight Stretch (Model 12614 only) Rick-Rack Stretch (Model 12614 only)
This stitch is the stretch variation of
the straight stitch, especially develop­
ed for knits and stretch fabrics.
Stretch stitch can be used on other
fabrics as well. It works well on
curved seams and on any garments
that will receive a great deal of strain
(ie. children's clothes).
(sometimes called a "reverse­
action" stitch), so that it will
give when the fabric stretches
instead of breaking. This stitch
can also be used for topstitching
on all fabrics.
