Stretch straight stitch is a triple lock stitch, combining stretchability and strength.
Use for stitching regular seams in knits and stretch fabrics.
Use for stitching seams in woven fabrics that receive a lot of strain when worn,
such as side seams, crotch seams, and armholes in sportswear and children's
clothes.
Also use for topstitching when you want a heavier row of stitching without using
buttonhole twist.
Guide fabric gently allowing machine to make the back-and-forth stitches that
give stretch to the seam.
