STRETCH STITCHES
Stretch stitches are mainly for use on knit, or stretchable
fabrics, but can also be used on ordinary woven materials.

STRAIGHT STRETCH STITCH
Straight stretch stitch is far stronger than an ordinary straight
stitch because it locks three times - forwards, backwards and
forwards.
It is particularly suitable for reinforcing the seams of
sportswear in stretch and non-stretch fabrics, and for curved
seams which take a lot of strain.
Use this stitch also to top-stitch lapels, collars and cuffs to give
a professional nish to your garments.
OVEREDGE STITCH
This is the same type stitch used by the garment industry in
making sportswear
-
it forms and nishes the seam in one
operation.
It’s very effective for use in repairing raw or worn edges of
garments.
FEATHER STITCH
The pleasing appearance of this stitch enables it to be used
for top stitching, or attaching lace or inset panels when making
lingerie.
It is also ideal for quilting applications and faggoting.
RIC-RAC STITCH
Ric-rac is primarily used for a decorative top-stitch. It is ideal
for edging neck-bands, armholes, sleeves and hems. When
manually adjusted to a very narrow width it also can be used
for seaming in areas of great stress.
