**************** Machine Sewing **************** Topstitching ============ For best results, always try to topstitch from the right side of the fabric. If you are topstitching something wide like a facing, baste it close to the topstitching line, as a reference. Of course, some garments don't justify the additional effort: in that case you can accept to see the less regular seam from the bobbin side and topstitch with the wrong side up.
