elasticity and strength are needed for comfort and
durability. Use it to reinforce areas such as crotch and

Stretch Stitch
(a
This stitch is a narrow stretch stitch designed to
eliminate puckering on knit fabrics and bias seams,
while permitting the seam to be pressed completely flat.
The stitch can also be used to simultaneously seam and
overcast when sewing on tricot and chiffons for a
narrow, almost invisible seam or seam finish.
Note:
Only use the straight stitch foot when sewing
stitch patterns 1 , 2 and 3.
Otherwise the needle will strike the sewing foot
and possibly break.
