I like the zig zag or wavy stitch over the seam. I think it is more forgiving.

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) I think that last part might be called stagger in the ditch. LOL your comment made me laugh. |

I have a SID foot for my machine and that really helps me stay in the ditch.

I have found SID to be quite easy and evenly stitched when I use the #10 foot on my new Bernina machine. You can get the stitches sooooo close with the metal guide in the middle of the foot. Was quite a revelation to me!
