Triple Straight Stitch
Notes:
The Triple Straight Stitch creates a very sturdy seam on
items that will receive a lot of wear.
It also creates beautiful bold topstitching with regular
weight thread that mimics the look of a heavier decorative
topstitching thread.
Triple Straight Stitch Seam
The triple straight stitch is optimal for reinforced seams
in heavy fabrics.
1. Attach Zigzag Sole DA to the machine and engage the
Dual Feed Mechanism.
2. Select the Triple Straight Stitch #6.
3. Place the fabric pieces right sides together.
4. Position the edge of the fabric along the 5/8” mark on
the stitch plate.
5. Sew the seam and press it open.
