The stitch and its uses
The saddle stitch is formed with one stitch
forward, two stitches backward, and a fourth
stitch forward.
You can achieve a lovely hand-worked look
when topstitching suits, blazers, jumpers, and
denim outfits with the saddle stitch.
NOTE:
Adiust the needle position for the effect
you want.
Here's how
1. Sew as you would for topstitching.
2. To turn corners:
a. Lower the needle into the fabric on the fourth stitch.
b. Raise the presser foot and turn the fabric,
c. Lower the presser foot and continue to sew.
Helpful hint
The blind hem stitch foot is good to use when topstitching near the edge of the
garment. Just set the edge guide with the guide screw.
