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.

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
strongly recommended.

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.
