SATIN STITCH FOOT
The satin stitch foot is grooved to permit dense stitching to
pass under it easily. It is most useful for sewing satin stitches
and as an alternative to the general purpose foot when sewing
stretch stitches.
Closely spaced zig-zag stitches are called satin stitches. This
is an attractive stitch used primarily for appliqueing and bar
tacking. Slightly loosen top thread tension for satin stitching.
Use a backing of tissue paper or interfacing for lightweight
fabrics to avoid puckering.
4. OTHER INFORMATION
TWIN NEEDLE (Optional)
A twin needle produces two rows of parallel stitches for
pintucks, double top stitching and decorative sewing.
When using twin needles, always engage the twin needle
button, regardless of the stitch you have selected. This will
prevent broken needles and damage to your machine. Use
of a SINGER branded twin needle (Style 2025) is strongly
recommended.
THREADING THE TWIN NEEDLE
1. Place a spool on each spool pin. Thread the two threads
as one. Draw one thread through each needle from front to
back.
2. Pick up bobbin thread as for single needle sewing. Pull the
three threads together under the presser foot to the back of
the machine, leaving about 6” (15 cm) clear.
NOTE: Needle threader cannot be used to thread the
twin needle.
Helpful Hints:
1. Always select the twin needle mode prior to
selecting a pattern. This will prevent any possibility
of the twin needle breaking.
2. To disengage twin needle sewing mode and return
the machine to normal sewing mode, either press
the twin needle button again or shut the machine
off. Twin needle is only active when the twin needle
switch is lit red.
