I'm making some jeans and wanted to set up a machine just for the topstitching. I dragged out my old Singer 99K which I rarely use but I thought would be just right for the job. I did a sample with my topstitching thread in. The outer rows are both on the 99k, the inner three on my Pfaff. The Singer wins hands down, it's a lovely stitch.
The only downside is that the pedal has a shorting capacitor and the machine happily sews without me being anywhere near the foot
. For less than a fiver, though, I've got a spares kit on the way and I'll have it fixed next week.
Happy days! [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
