TOPSTITCHtiSlG
A practical, simple way to accent the
lines of a dress or coat is to place one or
more rows of stitching along collars,
lapels, facing edges, pockets, seams, etc.
For a tailored look, use lines of regular
straight stitching; use the straight stitch
foot and sew them with buttonhole twist
for added emphasis. For decorative
interest, use a decorative zig-zag or
Flexi-Stitch
pattern. To add firmness to
hems and seams in knit and stretch
garments, topstitch with the straight
stretch stitch.
