Saddle Stitch jT^
Tlie saddle stitch ¡s formed with one stitch
toward, 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; Adjust the needle position for the
effect you want.
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.
