Smooth Flat Finish on Stretch Knits

Stretch knit fabrics require some special techniques to prevent over stretch or waviness in the the seam line. I use facing tape inside hems to give structure and foundation. A walking foot and double machine needle also prevents a rippled seam. When I work with stretch knits, I produce a smooth flat finish. This especially true for athletic and stretch pant and dress hems.
