OUR ADVICE: To make the
fabric along stitched seams stretch, sew details with narrow zigzag or with
special stretchable stitches. To make the hem stretch, oversew
hem allowance with special oversew stitches (overlock), and then sew it using double needle. This is
also attachable to other edges that should stay elastic.
These
recommendations are not for industry.
