When u mentioned using the end of the needle, I felt relief. Other persons just makes it look like it's a sin to focus on ur needle. They all say focus on the presser foot. I know presser foot works best on straight lines, but focusing on the needle helps better when sewing curves. Thanks mam
Reminds me why I bought a machine that has a needle down, foot raised option, saves having to lift the presser foot up every time. To practice straight lines, stitch one straight line parallel to the edge of the fabric and then stitch a series of parallel lines of decorative stitches, using the edge of the foot to line up to the adjacent stitches. Good practice and you end up with a piece of decorated fabric at the end.
I love this, it has made my top-stitching so much better. And you gave them out at the same time as I got med industrial machine, so they ware grate for practising on it.
Such a useful practice tool! I think I will use these and add a dotted seam allowance - my biggest issue is going too ‘flat’ around the curve… possibly because my stitch length is too long. How short would you recommend going when sewing things like cork and vinyl, so as not to perforate?
Topstitching around curves is what trips me up the most. I have a semi industrial machine (straight stitch only) and have no way of moving the needle position. I haven’t mastered the art of topstitching curves yet. Do you have any tips for me? Thanks so much.
Definitely! - try using the printed sheets and follow all the tips I give there, its the same for both. When you are edgestitching, the main thing to remember when working your way around a curve is to keep an eye on where your needle is in relation to the edge of the fabric - not to the front of the foot - thats mainly where we all fall down, and go slow!!

If it was a tight curve I would probably reduce to around 2.6

Is that a dual feed foot you’re using please?
It is, but it doesn't need to be - it just happened to be on my machine :)
