Stay-stitching around the yoke and pockets

I really, really don't want any fit problems with this pair of jeans (which are self-drafted), so I took the extra tedious step of stay-stitching all around every piece that had any curve to it. I recently made my first pair of pants and they ended up too big even though the pattern was drafted specifically to fit my figure — all because the fabric stretched as I sewed. Do your jeans patterns suggest taking this step? My teacher gives us no instructions on sewing the garments we draft for our patternmaking class, so I'm always figuring it out as I go.
