Straight Stretch Stitch
for Stretch Fabrics
In the 1970’s, fabrics that had stretch were introduced. Previously, only woven-
type fabrics were available for home sewers. When a standard straight stitch is
sewn on stretch fabric, it will “pop” or break when the fabric is stretched.
Special stitches were created to allow “no-pop” sewing on stretch fabrics, and
these stitches are called Stretch Stitches or Flexi-stitches. Today, stretch
fabrics are used to make exercise outfits, dance customs, swimsuits and much
more. As the fabrics of these garments stretch, so do the stitches!

Ribbing Application
The Overedge Stretch Stitch makes sewing seams on knits look as though they
were finished on a serger. This stitch is stronger and more durable than
overlock/serger stitching. The stitch incorporates a straight stitch and a finishing
stitch into one operation. This allows for professional finish on projects, and is
especially popular on sweatshirts.

32 Sewing with a Wing Needle Use a Wing Needle to create a beautiful heirloom look on pillowcases, napkins, or special occasion garments. A Wing Needle is very wide and makes a large opening or hole in the fabric every time it stitches. Several different types of stitches can be used. For best results, use a stitch with forward-back movement, so that the needle penetrates the same hole more than once.
