Let me show you some of my examples to convince you. I used Edgestitch Foot #10 for so many projects in the past. To be honest, I got compliments for the neat sewing.
Follow a seam with the guide blade. Set the needle position to the left according to the distance you like the topstitching seam. Mostly a topstitching seam is done with stitchlength 3,5 or 4. Use thicker thread for a bold look (like jeanswear has).You can take Mettler Extra Strong or even Mettler Cordonnet . Match the needle with the thread.

I hope I inspired you to use edgestitch foot #10 for accurate topstitching of pockets, decorative lines on a jeans or collar and whatever you can think of.
