Topstitching Tips:
Bobbin Thread: Use a matching or contrasting Sew-All Thread in the bobbin to complement the topstitching thread.
Stitch Length: For the best finish, set your stitch length to 3 to 4mm to make the topstitching more prominent and visually striking.
Sew Slowly: Topstitching thread is thicker, so sew slowly to avoid skipped stitches and thread breakage, ensuring smooth, even stitches.
