When the seam allowance flips, you can gently move the seam over by a notch so the needle will land on the low side again.

THat said, I have done some work where I sewed ON THE HIGH SIDE sort of like a topstitch. It is personal preference.


When I had a little too much wine, I have meandered around the ditch (not sure they make an acronym for that - lol)
This is how I learned to do it and I'm SO glad to know that there is someone out there that meanders out of the ditch, too! :thumbup:
I thought meandering was part of the technique!

:lol:
I just bought a SID foot for my machine. It's helped to eliminate a lot of the meandering technique I perfected :lol:
