DECORATIVE AND STRETCH STITCHES

Stretch stitches are mainly for use on knit, or
stretchable fabrics, but can also be used on 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 labels, collars and cuffs to
give a professional finish to your garments.
HONEYCOMB STITCH
The Honeycomb stitch is ideal for smocking and useful for
overcasting and attaching elastic and stretch lace.
1. For smocking, first make several rows of gathers across
the fabric that you wish to smock.
2. Cut an underlay fabric (such as organdy) and place it
under the shirring.
3. Sew the honeycomb stitch over the gathered rows,
securing them in place.
OVEREDGE STITCH
This is the same type stitch used by the garment industry in
making sportswear - it forms and finishes the seam in one
operation.
It's very effective for use in repairing raw or worn seams of
garments.
FEATHER STITCH
The pleasing appearance of this stitch enables it to be
used for decorative topstitching or for attaching laces and
trims.
It is also ideal for quilting applications and edge-joining.
