      Does chainstitching stretch enough to work for a tshirt?  Seems like it would be possible, though.  Just need to use lighter weight thread and maybe reset the stitch length.

      EDIT: damn, Giles had a faster and better answer…

        On the Union Special, altering the stitch length is a major engineering job.  It means frigging around with a bunch of internal cams…...Not happening.....

        But, the beauty about the chain stitch is that is stretches with the cotton on the Tee.  No problems there....
