I use my edge-joining foot and butt the fabric up to the blade and move my needle to the left or right as needed.

if you have decorative stitches on your machine, topstitching is a great place to use them. Play with some on samples till you find one that suits your project. And you can make multiple rows of decorative stitches for more interest, depending on the project.

Love top stitching. Of late though, I had gone a step more. I switch to a zigzag the size of embroidery floss, similarly to applique. Then run the floss over the top stitch in a matching color. It really makes your project pop.
