In your manual. look for stretch stitches. Usually that will be a zigzag stitch. For that material, I almost always just set everything on 2.

do some testing on scraps of the fabrics.
stretch the fabric as you are sewing it just a little bit.
mostly you will need to set stitch length on about 3 to 5 for best results.

Since fabrics vary so much, what I do is try sample stitches on several settings until I find the one that works best.
