TOPSTITCHING
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; sew them with button
hole twist for added emphasis. For decora
tive interest, use a zig-zag stitch.
