Absteppen mit zwei Nadeln Explanation: Absteppen Knapp an Kanten oder Nähten steppen, um sie zu betonen oder zu fixieren, wird Absteppen genannt. Meist steppt man sehr schmal, ca. 2 - 5 mm breit ab. Dazu können Sie das Nähmaschinenfüßchen als Masstab benutzen. Positionieren Sie das Nähmaschinenfüßchen so, dass es genau an einer Kante entlangfährt, während Sie nähen, um eine gerade, gleichmäßige Naht zu erhalten. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2008-09-22 20:18:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Steppnaht ist besser -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2008-09-22 20:24:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.proz.com/kudoz/english_to_german/textiles_clothin... sahold have looked here right away; answer was already given by Stefanie Sendelbach, well, I'll be... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2008-09-22 20:24:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "should" have , sorry |

| Reference Reference information: Topstitching Topstitching is used to strengthening or embellishing garments details such as pocket mouths, facings, princess seams etc.. HINT: If you want the topstitching to have a padded or quilted look, try sandwiching a layer of flannel or fleece between the garment and the facing. HINT : In some couture sewing books it is recommended that the top stitching is completed early in the construction process i.e. before facings and linings are applied. In that way there is less bulk and fewer layers of fabric to control. This is worth trying. HINT: If you want to emphasize the lines of topstitching or edgestitching, sew with two threads in the needle or with twin-needle. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2008-09-22 19:40:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- yes, by definition topstitch is always close to the edge, it is being used for drawing attention to the finished product, more decorative. So you are probably right. Zwillingsnadel klingt auch besser; I am not really a good seamstress Example sentence(s):
