NOTE:

When using the straight stitch foot, make sure to use center needle position. Otherwise the needle may strike the presser foot and possibly break.

Topstitching emphasizes lines of garments 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. Lower the presser foot and keep

the edge of the fabric next to the right edge of the presser foot.

Evenly guide the fabric along the edge to produce an even row of topstitching 3/8" (1.0 cm) from the edge.
