The Stitch and Its Uses
Topstitching emphasizes the lines of
your garment and keeps seams and
edges flat and crisp.
Accent suits or blouses with one or
two rows of topstitching around the
outer edges of cuffs, lapels or collars.
Here's How
1.
Lower the presser foot.
2.
Keep the edge of the fabric next
to the right edge of the presser
foot.
3.
Evenly guide the fabric along this
edge to produce an even row of
topstitching 3/8" from the edge.
NOTE: You can easily adjust your
needle from center to left for
topstitching without moving
your fabric from under the
zigzag presser foot.
Use Left Needle Position for more
control while topstitching or edge
stitching difficult fabrics.
NOTE:
Use only zigzag presser
