Stay stitching is done to prevent the fabric from stretching out of shape. Normally this on the neckline [shirts and tops] and waistline [for pants and skirts]. It is a regular straight stitch on your machine, done just inside the sewing line [if the seam allowance is 5/8", the stay stitching is done at 1/2"], on a single layer of fabric. Be sure to just guide the fabric in front of the needle, so it doesn't stretch. You may need to pull slightly on the fabric behind the needle, so it doesn't pucker.

Kimm, you're welcome! I'm glad I could help. I couldn't find the "message board tips and techniques", and so I figured you might be having the same problem.

This is a question isn't it? Should be in a different section?
