Flexi-Stitch discs (light colored) control
needle and fabric movement and produce
a variety of decorative and utility stitches,
including stitches that stretch. Instructions
for both decorative and practical uses of
these stitches begin on page 30. Informa­
tionen stretch stitching begins on page 39.
