I've been doing some top stitching for my Simplicity 3688 skirt and despite using an edge-stitching foot with a guide on it, it's still a little wobbly!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972476639063673850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-61419931406285352722010-10-26T12:06:04.632+01:002010-10-26T12:06:04.632+01:00Uhm...

I like to use a 1/4" quilting foot (which I modded by ripping off the little guide) with my needle set about halfway between the middle and far right. Then I use the edge of my foot to keep the top-stitching straight, works really well... <br /><br />I don't know what you're worried about, yours looks great! Can't wait to see the pink stripe.Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235341738044433500noreply@blogger.com
