PRESSER FOOT UNIVERSAL
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 portswear
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 cus to give a
professional nish to your garments.
