TENSION ADJUSTMENT FOR SATIN STITCHING
3 5
Satin stitching requires lighter ten­
sion than straight stitching or open
designs. The wider the satin stitching
the lighter the tension required.
Wide satin stitching, Stitch Width
Selector at 4, requires least amount of
tension. For narrower satin stitching
slightly more tension should be used.
To determine correct tension set­
ting, a test sample should be made on
self-fabric using Special Purpose Foot.
A properly balanced satin stitch should
lie fiat across the material.
Some soft fabrics may require addi­
tion of a backing to insure good stitch­
ing results. Crisp organdy and lawn
are suitable for this purpose.
