STRETCH STITCHES Stretch stitches are mainly for use on knit, or stretchable fabrics, but can also be used on ordinary fabrics. 31 TRIPLE STRAIGHT STITCH Triple straight 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 finish to your garments. 32 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 edges of older garments. Make several rows of gathers across the fabric that you wish to smock. With a narrow strip of fabric directly under the line of gathering, stitch over the gathers, using the honeycomb stitch. 33 ELASTIC OVERLOCK STITCH Use this stitch in preference to regular overlock stitch for overcasting stretch or knit fabrics where strength and flexibility are required.
