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.
