I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos and that you've subscribed for more sewing techniques! You have a keen eye; I do have a seam ripper without the red ball with me in the video. These types of seam rippers often come as accessories with sewing machines, and while they're not the best in terms of sharpness, they can still be quite useful. I like to use them as pointers in my videos (because my fingers need a break from the spotlight), they're handy and visible to viewers. So don’t be surprised that my seam ripper has such a dual career. Also, their dullness can be an advantage when I want to unpick just a few threads without the risk of cutting them, allowing me to tie the thread ends securely afterward. For a more detailed guide on seam rippers, I invite you to visit my website. There, you'll find a written tutorial that combines all the tips in one place, which can be a great supplement to the more entertaining content on RU-vid.

For topstitching, I generally recommend using a thicker thread, such as a 40 wt, paired with a larger needle, like a 80/12 or 90/14, to accommodate the heavier thread and fabric layers. This combination helps create those beautiful, pronounced stitches that really stand out. However, the best size can vary depending on the weight and type of fabric you're working with, so it's always a good idea to test on a scrap piece first.

I'm sorry to hear that rheumatoid arthritis has been giving you trouble; it can indeed be a challenge when it comes to sewing. Regarding your question, using a darning foot for basting sounds like an interesting idea. The key here would be to ensure you're comfortable with the free-motion sewing technique, as it requires a steady hand to maintain even basting stitches. But if you're adept at it, this could indeed save you time. Every sewing machine and fabric behaves differently, so it might be worth trying this method out on some scrap material first to see if it works for you and your machine. If you do decide to give free-motion basting a try, take it slow and see how it feels.
