SATIN STITCH FOOT

The Satin stitch foot is grooved on the bottom 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 stabilizer or interfacing to avoid puckering.

4. OTHER INFORMATION

TWIN NEEDLE

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

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. 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.

Helpful Hints:

1. Always select the Twin Needle Mode 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.

NOTE: Needle threader cannot be used to thread the

twin needle.
