Adjusting Stitches
for Streatch Fabrics
Guiding and Supporting
Fabric
Most fabr ics of stretch or knit construenon
need only to be guided in front of the presser
foot when Vou use one of the stretch stitches.
Some fab rics - nylon tricot and elasticized
fabrics, for example - do require support wh ile
being stitched.
1. For nylon tricot and similar synthetic knits,
apply gentle tension by holding the seam in
front
and back of the presser foot as vou
sew.
2. .For elast icized fabr ic, stretch lace, and knits
with an unusual amount of elasticity, apply
firm tension in front and back of the presser
foot
to
stretch the seam as the stitches are
being placed.
C.AUTION: Do not oull the fabric while vou
are stitching as this may deflect the needle,
caus ing it to break,
