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,

hems, pockets, seams, etc. For a tailored

look, use lines of regular straight stitching;

sew them with buttonhole twist (or double

strands of regular thread) for added

emphasis. For decorative interest, use a zig

zag stitch. To keep stitching at an even dis

tance from the fabric edge, use the seam

guide available for separate purchase at your

local Singer Sewing Center.

Topstitching with Leaf Stitch

Two-thread Topstitching

Bold, well-defined topstitching is produced by

using two strands of regular thread in the nee

dle instead of a single strand. Ideal for sum

mer knits, linens, cottons, denims, and vinyls,

two thread topstitching is economical and

particularly appropriate for use when a non-

lustrous, washable finish is required.

• Select a size 16 Style 2020 needle for

woven fabric and use a size 14, Style 2045

Yellow Band needle for knits.

• Set the machine for straight stitching.

• Clip detachable spool pin to thread

guidepost by pushing open end of detacha

ble spool pin around guidepost.

• Using the two threads, thread the machine

in the regular way for single-needle stitch

ing. For best results, use size 50 mercerized

cotton thread or cotton-wrapped polyester

thread.

• Pass threads together into tension discs

and threading points above the needle.

a Cut thread ends diagonally and draw both

through the eye of the needle using the nee

dle threader.

• Make a stitching test to determine the best

stitch length and needle-thread tension. A

long stitch, 6 to 10 per inch, is usually best.

• Sew at moderate speed.
