When I took the Stretch & Sew classes years ago, the assumption was that you were using a straight stitch machine and a regular presser foot. It worked just fine. I made really nice garments using the method. No walking foot or zigzag involved at all.

I took that class also. It was great, the fabrics were high quality and I learned so much that still applies to all my sewing.I use to make my uniforms from good quality knits, from them. I had some pretty snazzy uniforms. They were always different from what was available in stores and far better suited to my purposes. Pockets when where I needed them, not where some manufacturer thought I needed them. I wish they were still around. I'd take a another round of classes from them if thy were.
As Joanne said they taught you how to sew knits with a straight sew machine. It worked fine every time.
