Tutorial: Stretch stitches for sewing knits

You don’t need a serger to sew knits.  You can sew knit fabric on your sewing machine BUT you’ll need to use a stitch that will stretch.  If you don’t use a stretch stitch, when you stretch your fabric there’s a good chance you’ll pop your stitches.  There are a number of stretch stitches you can choose from.  Melissa from  Blank Slate Patterns and Melly Sews gives a rundown of common stretch stitches on a sewing machine.  The right one to use depends on your machine, your fabric, and what you’re making.
