Straight Stitch For Topstitching - Singer Scholastic Workbook

Straight Stitch for Topstitching

The Straight Stitch can be sewn "on top" of the fabric so that the stitches
are visible. This is different from using the straight stitch to join a seam
hidden inside the project. A topstitch provides a decorative touch while
holding the seam allowances flat. It is also sturdy and durable.
