To topstitch, increase the stitch length to 3.0. Stitch 1/8 away from the folded edge and directly over the seam. * Optional topstitching will always be specified. * To gather, increase the sewing machine tension and stitch length to the highest settings. Leave a 5 to 10 thread tail and stitch ¼ from the raw edge. Do not backstitch at the end, but instead leave another 5 to 10 tail.
