Straight Stitching 
 
The Straight Stitch is generally used to join seams or do topstitching.  It is the 
most basic of the stitches and is the most commonly used.  For a longer stitch 
or for thicker fabrics, lengthen the Stitch Length.

Stitch:    Straight Stitch 
Pattern Selector:   A 
Stitch Width:     1, no width 
Stitch Length:   3-4

Straight Stitch for Topstitching 
 
The Straight Stitch can be sewn “on top” of the fabric so that the stitches are 
visible.  This is different from using the straight stitch to join a seam hidden 
inside the project.   A topstitch provides a decorative touch while holding the 
seam allowances flat.  It is also sturdy and durable.
