It will look like this: • If your sewing machine doesn’t have a stretch stitch, use the zigzag stitch and low- er the width to 1 mm. • To allow for a greater amount of stretch on your stitch, lower your tension by one number; if you usually have your tension set at a 5, lower it to a 4. • When sewing with knits it is important to not stretch the fabric as you sew. If you’re experiencing wavy seams, try adjusting the presser foot to a lighter pres- sure. • When using a serger, set your differential feed to 1.5 with a stitch length of 2.5 for medium weight knits, 1.0 with a 2.0 stitch length for light weight knits and 2.0 with a 3.0 stitch length for thick knits. (All sergers are different, use this as a guide- line.) • For knits that roll at the edge, press with starch. • Use Wooly Nylon or stretch thread in the bobbin of your sewing machine for greater stretch and tunneling issues from a double needle. This also works well with a straight stitch for topstitching, not hemming. • Use Wooly Nylon or stretch thread in the upper looper of your serger for fabrics with a great amount of stretch.
