dakotamaid and quiltlovr,
Thanks so much! I have to slow way down to topstitch and many times I use a heat disapearing marker to make the lines before stitching and a top stitching needle helps too.
Maybe this will help you a little next time.

Polly,
There are many types of sewing machine needles you can buy. One is a top stitiching needle that has a nice sharp point and a larger groove that runs down it to accomodate the heavier topstitching thread. Just look next time you are in a sewing store. They are there with all the other types. The smetz brand makes them.
