The most common use for the right position straight stitch is for joining fabrics together with a seam. This may be helpful when sewing smaller projects like doll clothes and crafts.

Topstitching is a line of straight stitching on the outside of a garment or project, usually as a decorative embellishment. The right position straight stitch can be used to sew topstitching on projects like coats, jackets and tote bags. Set the stitch length to 3-3.5mm. Use a SINGER Topstitching Needle, size 90/14 for medium weight fabrics, or a SINGER Topstitching needle, size 100/16 for heavier fabrics. Sew 1/4" - 3/8" from the edge of the fabric. A Topstitching Needle has a longer eye to accommodate thicker threads, such as topstitching thread which gives the stitches a bolder look. The zigzag stitch can be used as a seam finish to help prevent fabric edges from unraveling. If your machine has adjustable stitch length and stitch width, select a medium stitch length and width - using a width that is too wide may cause the fabric edge to tunnel under the presser foot. The most popular stitch for machine applique is the satin stitch, created using a zigzag stitch. The stitches are sewn around the edge of the applique to attach it to the main fabric. The right movement of the needle sews just off the edge of the applique, and the left movement of the needle sews into the applique. If your machine has adjustable stitch length and stitch width, try experimenting on scrap fabric to find the exact settings you want for your applique. Set the width at a medium setting to start, and adjust from there. The stitch length setting should be short enough so that you don't see 6 of 81
