Showcasing ~ How to Neatly Finish Topstitching ~ Tutorial

Topstitching can add a professional finish to a sewn project. When the item has two right sides, however, it becomes harder to create a neat finish. Today's showcased tutorial overcomes this problem.


Damjana, from Apple Green Cottage, shows how to neatly finish off topstitching on a project that has two right sides. Both sides end up with a clean finish, and no visible tail threads. This is a useful technique for items such as bookmarks, zipper ends and gift bags. The comprehensive tutorial details two different methods, depending on whether the project requires the same, or different coloured threads. 

Damjana added her topstitching tutorial to the Sewing Tips & Techniques link party. You might like to check out the following tutorials at the Sewing Tips & Techniques linky...

Do you often use different coloured threads when topstitching?

  1. Thanks for sharing the tip, Pam. Since you asked, so I gave a thought and came to the conclusion that I mostly do topstitching when it adds to the design as well, so I use different coloured threads.

  4. I've been on a mission to find durable and reliable paper bags for my crafts business. After trying out different options, I found these marvelous white paper bags at this URL: https://mcdonaldpaper.com/karat-ckdp4p-4-oz-cold-hot-food-paper-containers-pink-1000-cs/. They're sturdy, come with handles, and provide ample space for my products. The bags have a clean, professional look that adds an extra touch to my packaging. I'm delighted with my purchase and would recommend them to anyone in need of high-quality paper bags.

Of course, on the site https://mostbet-azn.com/casino/l, the site is just wonderful, I managed to inspect and evaluate when I was first on it a few months ago, even then it looked simply charming and now it is the best site I have ever seen on the Internet, so I recommend everyone to try it!
