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 to avoid

puckering.

TWIN NEEDLE (Optional)

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.

NOTE: Needle threader cannot be used to thread the

twin needle.

IMPORTANT: When using a twin-needles, set stitch

width at 3.5 or less, or otherwise needle may be

broken.
