Straight Stretch Stitch
for Woven Fabrics
This stitch is wonderful for built-in strength! It is ideal when sewing
heavy-weight fabrics or when it is desired to have a bolder straight stitch.
Try it as a topstitch on jeans, a home decorating project, or when an
extra-strong seam is needed, such as children’s clothing.
