Topstitching: Mastering Thread End Tie-Offs

Күн бұрын

Learn how to properly tie off the start and end points of your thread when topstitching with this easy tutorial. A topstitch on a cushion not only looks good, but it helps to strengthen the seam and also keeps the seam allowance on the top plate or side (boxing) of your cushion for a smoother looking edge seam. If you want a more professional looking cushion consider tying off the start and stop point threads of your topstitch instead of reversing. This give the topstitch a continuous looking stitch, no reversing, that does not have a visible start or end point. Whether you're a beginner or experienced sewer, these tips will help you achieve a clean and professional looking finish on all your sewing projects. Watch now and improve your topstitching game!

I always wondered how this is done when I looked around in car's interiors with leather trim. Very well explained! The camera work and lighting is perfect.

I'm kind of embarrassed I didn't figure this out for myself! I always just assumed that if you did that you'd undo the last stitch, otherwise why would people teach the reverse stitch method? Now that I know, this looks better and seems more secure as well. I'm going to be using this a lot!

This is how my mother taught me to sew. I prefer this method over backstitching.

@TheRogZone 4 ай бұрын

Backstitching is use to secure the beginning and ending of a “SEAM”. IMHO one should never backstitch “TOPSTITCHING”, because it’s visible and unsightly. “Seams” (essential) and “Topstitching” (decorative) are two completely different sewing techniques and are not related.

@SailriteDIY 4 ай бұрын

Who needs backstitching when you have your mom's sewing wisdom, right?

@singlepointdc7749 4 ай бұрын

Thanks, Eric. The only thing I do a little differently is I tie all four of the threads together at the same time (two on one side, two on the other) using a square knot and cut it leaving a some tail.

@rdaviswebb717 4 ай бұрын

It sounded as if you called it a double hand knot, is that the same as a square knot? Melting and mushrooming the ends ensures the knot is secure anyway. Cool technique!

@SailriteDIY 4 ай бұрын

Yes, a double hand knot is the same as a square knot. The two-handed surgical knot, also known as the suture knot, is a square knot that is often used in surgery.
