Adjusting Stitches for

Stretch Fabrics

Guiding and Supporting Fabric

Most fabrics of stretch or knit

construction need only to be guided
in front of the pressor foot when you
use one of the stretch stitches.

Some

fabrics-nylon

tricot

and

ciasticii'ed fabrics, for example- do

require support while being stitched.

1. For nylon tricot and similar syn­

thetic knits, apply gentío tension
by holding the seam in front and
back of the presser foot as you

sew.

2. For elasticized fabric, stretch lace,

and knits with an unusual amount
of elasticity, apply firm tension in
front and back of the presser foot
to stretch the seam as the stitches

are being placed.

CAUTION:

Do not pull the fabric

while you are stitching as this may

deflect the needle, causing it to
break.
