4. OTHER 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 lightweight
fabrics to avoid puckering.
TWIN NEEDLE (Optional)
A twin-needle produces two rows of parallel stitches for pin
tucks, double top stitching and decorative sewing.
When using a twin-needles, the stitch width should never
be set beyond a twin needle mark, regardless of the stitch
you have selected. Doing so will result in broken needles and
possible damage to your machine.
Use of a Singer brand 3mm (Style 2025) twin needle is
recommended. Twin needles are available in a range of sizes.
Check with your Singer retailer.
The twin needle is an optional purchase.
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.
NOTE: Needle threader cannot be used to thread the
twin needle.
Helpful hints:
1. Always move the stitch width to the twin needle
mark prior to selecting a pattern. This will preclude
any possibility of the twin needle breaking.
2. Turning off the machine returns the machine to
normal sewing mode. Twin needle is only active
when the twin needle switch is lit red.
