  1. HOW TO BACKSTITCH ON A TREDDLE MACHINE....!!! Sew to the end - STOP - needle in fabric in the down position - presser foot up - rotate 180º - presser foot down - sew 5 stitches Its the same way you do on a modern machine is you are topstitching to ensure the back stitch is absolutely perfect and does not form a thick line. PLEASE UPVOTE SO SHE SEE THIS EDIT: also - you DONT have to draw your seams on if they are all the same - just stick a MAGNET to your sewing machine the seam width away from the needle...!!!
