Peter speaks! The first-ever MPB TOPSTITCHING VIDEO!

Posted on 4:06 AM by dvdsvdsdv

Friends, it was time.  I have received so many comments and questions about topstitching, specifically with regard to my Kwik Sew men's jeans and Western jacket, that I decided it was time to do something about it.  The result is this movie.



There's no reason why anyone can't topstitch accurately with a little guidance and the proper tools.  Please follow me as I teach you how to topstitch using both straight-stitch and zigzag sewing machines.  It's like two movies in one!



Please leave questions or comments below.  Enjoy the movie and happy topstitching!
