- Works superbly on modern sewing machines such as Baby lock, Bernina, Bernette, Brother, Elna, Viking, Janome, Kenmore, Pfaff, Singer and more.
- Caution: Not suitable for Industrial Machines because they require needles with a round shank.
Top 10 Sewing Tips:
Tip 1: Needle
- Always use Beissel 130-705 H-T Topstitch needle.
- Home sewing needles run at speeds up to 750 stitches per minute and even that in most cases sewing is intermittent. So, they are nickel plated which has served well.
- Chrome is harmful to environment because of the effluent the plating generates. Chrome plated needles for regular home sewing is best avoided.
Tip 2: Needle
- The needle point is likely to become dull after about 8 hours of sewing. It will begin to make a bigger hole and a “punching sound” making the machine work harder.
- A needle is the least expensive item in your project. Do not wait for the needle to break. Change to a nice fresh needle after 8 hours of sewing (or) when starting a new project. Your sewing machine will work as it is new!
Tip 3: Needle
- Available in sizes 80/12, 90/14 and 100/16. Choose wisely depending upon thread thickness.
Tip 4: Stitch Type
- Lengthen the stitches to 3 or 3.5mm to create a straighter-looking line.
Tip 5: Pressing / Ironing
- Press well before topstitching to flatten out the seams.
Tip 6: Stabilizer
- Stabilize lightweight or drape fabrics with spray starch or by sewing with a layer of tissue paper under the seam.
Tip 7: Sewing Problem
- Edge-stitching is sewn 1/8″ from the edge, while topstitching is 1/4″ from the edge. They are both decorative stitches on the face of the fabric.
Tip 8: Presser Foot
- If you need to unpick, rip out the bobbin thread on the wrong side and pull the thicker topstitch thread out as a single thread.
Tip 9: Sewing Style
- Avoid back tacking.
Tip 10: Sewing Style
- Sew with thicker than normal top thread. Objective is to attract attention to the Topstitch.
- Sew with the garment right sides up so the topstitch thread ends up on the outside.
