Here is that beautiful detail of the extra wide seam on the Willow Top from Fresh Press Patterns
I tend to go through all the decorative stitches, looking at possibilities and actually sewing out a few.
I went with this stitch and the only change I had to do was mirror the image for the right side of the back seam. The mirror button is the one I circled.
Here is how it stitched out, just beautiful.
Now the important part is to keep the presser foot lined up with a mark. In this instance it is the fold, which I kept lined up with the line on the presser foot. See arrow.
I used a layer of tear away stabilizer under this stitch out. One thing I have found is to use the start/stop button and let the machine do the work. All I do is guide the fabric, keeping that line on the fold.
Now to the other side, just press the mirror button and we are back to how the stitch comes loaded on the Pfaff Creative Icon. The rest is the same....Start/stop button, line on presser foot and stabilizer..
There is one really important item to keep the stitches the same on each side. It is simple as pushing a button, this button
This button is located at the top of the machine
Are you wondering why this button is important? Well, it starts the stitches at the very first stitch, so this means both sides will be lined up. The green cross hatch shows the very first stitch. With this knowledge, you can look at one side and line up the other side.
Here you go with the even stitches
One final step and my decorative stitches are complete
I added the bar tack at the end of the opening to add some strength to the bottom of the seam. I love this bar tack, the first stitch is right in the middle! A perfect way to get this stitch just right. This stitch is found in the bar tack menu.
Here is the bias binding on this Willow Top, a wonderful detail from the pattern.
I wanted to add something to this top and also wanted it to showcase the wide center back seam.
Nice work! I love how you show exactly how this detail is done. Karen

ReplyDeleteMy wish right now is that God should continue to bless Dr Emu for his good works towards the life of those people who are heart broken. My name is Michael DeBruin and I am from the USA, it's been a while since my lover's attitude changed from being the caring type she has been to me, but later turned out not to be caring at all. But not long, I later discovered that my lover was having an affair with someone else. and also she told me she doesn't need me after all we pass through then a friend told me about a spell caster. that with the spell I will get back my woman, I took his cell number then called him and also what's-app him which he reply to me and I did some sacrifices to the spell man and he bought the items for me which he used for the sacrifices and later called me that before 48 hours my love will come back to me and now we are more in love with each other than ever. you can reach him on WhatsApp +2347012841542 or reach him via mail ; emutemple@gmail.com , my lover returned back and broke up with the other guy she was having a relationship with... Thank you Dr Emu.
