I transfer this measurement from the template to the pockets beforehand. Of course you can design the topstitching according to your personal preferences.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5321&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]If there is a difference in height in the material, I make sure to set my presser foot straight to get a nice, even stitch pattern. To do this, I place a piece of fabric under the presser foot.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5322&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]I use scissors or an awl to push down the seam allowance at the opening edge so that the fold does not show.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5323&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5324&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5325&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]The pocket opening can be secured at the top with a bartack or with forward and backward stitches. In the example, I am using a narrow zigzag stitch with a stitch width of 1.5 mm and a stitch length of 0.4 mm.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Tip_against_stretching_when_topstitching_the_trouser_pocket\"><\/span>9.

To avoid this, I use an approx. 2 cm wide strip of fine sandpaper (you can find this in any DIY store) as an aid.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5327&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5328&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]When sewing, I place this strip next to my desired stitching line under the presser foot and guide it along while sewing. The rough side lies on the fabric.
