It is used to keep the sewing pins on so they don't get lost and for safety.
Cotton itself is not a stretchy fiber. Woven fabric is typically not stretchy. So no, I would not expect a cotton gauze to be stretchy unless it was a cotton blend.
Gauze is a light, open-weave fabric made of cotton when used for surgical dressings and of silk and other fibres when used for dress trimming. The name is derived from that of the Palestinian city of Gaza, where the fabric is thought to have originated.

How do you thread the cotton through machine to needle?
Since I do not know what kind of machine you have ( you can sometimes look for the manufacturers website, and see if they show a threading diagram ) all I can say is the rule of thumb is to draw the thread from the spool, usually, through a disc or eyelet, and draw the thread down a slot, ( it will catch a hook of some sort, inside that slot ) then back up, usually passing between 2 discs, ( which hold the tension ) over another hook ( this is an obvious slot in the thread take up ) and back down to the thread guide and to the needle.
You will always have the thread moving down, up then down again, for a total of 3 passes through the mechanism. MOST machines are threaded from left to right, though I had one machine that threaded from right to left.
Like I said, it might be a good idea to check the manufacturers website for threading instructions.
I discovered curve stitching in junior high school. This technique, invented by Englishwoman Mary Everest Boole (1832 - 1916) in 1904, produces apparent curves by means of perfectly straight lines. Mary Boole worked with thread and cardstock, though I personally have only worked with pen or pencil on paper and, more recently, with a computer. Curve stitching relies on the fact that a curve can be approximated by a finite number of closely spaced tangents, and the archetypal curve-stitch figure is that of the parabola, shown at the right. Over the years, I have been less interested in devising new curve-stitch designs than I have been of executing designs really well. When I was in high school, however, I did develop one design, which I call a curve-stitch isometric cube, and which I executed with great success (and much tedium) by hand. Now that I have my own computer and some arcane programming skills, executing designs (and even exploring new designs) has become much easier. I still use pencil and paper, of course, but I have also found it convenient to create designs through programming. This can be almost as tedious as working with pen and ink, but it has the advantage that mistakes generally don't make me start over from the beginning. Moreover, once I get a program right, I can reproduce a design effortlessly and at will. Below are links to a discussion of my curve-stitch isometric cube, as well as to other new designs. I must warn visitors that, although I have tried not to put too many illustrations on any given page, I have opted to use relatively high-resolution graphics, so some pages will load slowly if you do not have a broadband Internet connection. Lower-resolution graphics or smaller graphics that show enlarged pictures when clicked on are irritating in other ways, so I have avoided them. Patience will, I think, be rewarded.

Broken Needle Policy in Garment?
A broken needle policy in garment manufacturing is necessary for factories producing baby or children's wear to ensure finished garments are metal free so as not to cause damage to wearers. It normally involves a strict procedure for replacing broken needles on machines, with all incidents recorded and one main person responsible for collecting in broken parts and giving out replacements. Additionally all garments should be passed through a metal detector before being packaged to ensure they are not contaminated with pieces of metal. There are also guidelines on metal items which should not be brought into the factory e.g. in the case of visitors, such as staples, pins, sewing kits, charity daffodils or poppies fastened with pins, for example.broken needle awareness should be display local language with photos
