INFORMATION
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 to avoid
puckering.
TWIN NEEDLE
(Optional)
I
MPORTANT:
When using a twin-needles,
set stitch width at 3.5 or
less, or otherwise needle may be broken.
A twin-needle
produces
two rows of parallel stitches for pin
tucks, double top stitching and decorative sewing.
Use of a SINGER
Brand 3mm (Style 2025) Twin Needle
is
strongly recommended.
THREADING
THE TWIN NEEDLE
1. Insert the second spool pin. 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) of thread.
I
OTE:
Needle threader cannot be used to thread the
twin needle.
