It is helpful to use an Open Toe Foot (additional accessory for some machine models), which provides a clear view of the sewing area. Set the stitch length and stitch width according to the look you want for your project. See a demonstration of the Open Toe Foot in this video. Two fabric edges can be joined together using this decorative stitch. First, turn under and press the edge of both fabrics. An Edge Joining Foot (sdditional accessory for some machine models) can be used a a guide for the fabrics. Place the folded edges next to each other, one on each side of the foot's center guide, and place a piece of lightweight stabilizer underneath the area where they join. Select the length and width setting you want for your project. Sew across the area where the fabrics join, so the left movement of the needle sews on the left fabric, and the right movement of the needle sews on the right fabric. Remove the stabilizer when finished. Try using a topstitching thread and Topstitching Needle for a more bold appearance to the stitches. 39 of 49
