How to Sew stretchy fabric on a regular sewing machine
A – Use the Right Needle: Choose a ballpoint or stretch needle, typically size 75/11 or 90/14, as these will pierce through the fabric without causing snags.
B – A zigzag stitch or a stretch stitch (if your machine has one) works well. Set the zigzag to a narrow width (1 or 1.5) to allow the fabric to stretch without popping stitches.
C – Use a slightly longer stitch length (about 2.5-3 mm) to prevent the fabric from bunching or stretching out of shape.
