| | Absteppen mit zwei Nadeln | Explanation:
Absteppen
Knapp an Kanten oder Nähten steppen, um sie zu betonen oder zu fixieren, wird Absteppen genannt. Meist steppt man sehr schmal, ca. 2 - 5 mm breit ab. Dazu können Sie das Nähmaschinenfüßchen als Masstab benutzen. Positionieren Sie das Nähmaschinenfüßchen so, dass es genau an einer Kante entlangfährt, während Sie nähen, um eine gerade, gleichmäßige Naht zu erhalten.

Reference information:
Topstitching
Topstitching is used to strengthening or embellishing garments details such as pocket mouths, facings, princess seams etc..
HINT: If you want the topstitching to have a padded or quilted look, try sandwiching a layer of flannel or fleece between the garment and the facing.
HINT : In some couture sewing books it is recommended that the top stitching is completed early in the construction process i.e. before facings and linings are applied. In that way there is less bulk and fewer layers of fabric to control. This is worth trying.
HINT: If you want to emphasize the lines of topstitching or edgestitching, sew with two threads in the needle or with twin-needle.

yes, by definition topstitch is always close to the edge, it is being used for drawing attention to the finished product, more decorative. So you are probably right. Zwillingsnadel klingt auch besser; I am not really a good seamstress
Example sentence(s):- here is a description of topstitching
- I am still looking for the proper term
| | Note to reference poster
Asker: I have found knappkantig absteppen in the meantime... so I guess I will write sth like knappkantige Zwillingsnadel-Steppstichnaht ... does that make sense to you? it seems like the difference between topstitch and lockstitch (Steppnaht) is that the topstitch-Steppnaht is knappkantig, while the lockstitch-Steppnaht isn't...
