Satin Stitching
Satin stitching is a series of closely spaced zig zag
stitches that form a smooth satin-like surface It is
useful for both utility and decorative work. Always
make a test sample first so that you can adjust the
stitch length and thread tension properly.
Soft fabrics may require a backing to ensure firm satin
stitching. Crisp organdy and lawn are suitable for this
purpose.
• Pattern Disc: Any zig-zag stitch
• Stitch Width:
• Needle Position:
• Stitch Length: Between 0 and 1
• Special Purpose Presser Foot
• General Purpose Needle Plate
ADJUSTING STITCH LENGTH
1. Turn selector dial to 1 and run the machine at a
slow speed.
2. While running machine gradually turn dial toward 0
until stitches are closely spaced and form a smooth
satin stitch.
ADJUSTING THREAD TENSION
Satin stitching requires less tension than straight
stitching or open zig-zag stitching. Furthermore the
wider the stitch, the lighter the tension on the thread
must be.
Notice the stitching on your sample. If the stitching
appears to be too tight, or the fabric is puckering,
lower the thread tension by turning the dial to a lower
number.
