Edsbear Report post Posted January 9 I am trying to French seam the border(border and top plate) of a seat cushion which is square. The problem is that when I get to the corner the stitches end up misaligned and don't go around the corner parallel so look rubbish. I wondered if anyone had some tips on this, its easy doing a 90 degree turn on a flat piece but this driving me mad at the moment. I am using a twin needle with split bar 3/8" gauge.

Edsbear Report post Posted January 10 Thank you, yes I agree both Cechaflo and Sailrite are great channels but I am trying to French seam the top plate where it meets the boxing, so basically a top stitch on the top and a top stitch on the side boxing with the twin needle, maybe its not possible Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
