Topstitching - Singer 1030 Instruction

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 interest, use a
decorative stitch. To keep stitching at an even
distance from the fabric edge, use the seam
guide.
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 detachable spool pin
around guidepost as illustrated.
• 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.
• Cut thread ends diagonally and draw both
through the eye of the needle with 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.
