Top Stitching Sewing Tutorial for Beginners
Welcome to my top stitching sewing tutorial for beginners.
Top stitching is simpler than it seems. I'll guide you through the process to make it easy and straightforward.
Tools and materials:
- Sewing machine
- Topstitch thread
1. Thread machine and set stitch length
Begin by threading your sewing machine with topstitching thread.
This type of thread is thicker than regular sewing thread, giving your stitches a more pronounced look.
Set your stitch length to five on your sewing machine. This longer stitch length is ideal for topstitching, providing better visibility and a neater finish.
2. First row
Position your fabric to line up the roll line with the mark where you want to sew.
Align the notch on your presser foot with the roll line.
Start sewing, keeping the edge of your presser foot aligned with the roll line.
Maintain a distance of about an eighth of an inch away from the line for a clean, professional-looking topstitch.
3. Second row
For the second row, align the notch on your presser foot with the previous row of stitches.
This ensures uniform spacing and a cohesive appearance.
Continue sewing until you've completed all desired rows of topstitching.
