Satin stitching

When you wish to produce a satin stitch make
a test sample first so you can adjust stitch

length and thread tension properly. Soft fabric
may require a backing to ensure a firm stitch.
Crisp organdy, lawn or a fusible interfacing are
suitable for this purpose.

ADJUSTING NEEDLE THREAD

TENSION

Satin stitching requires less tension than
straight stitching or open zig-zag stitching.
Furthermore, the wider the stitch, the lighter the

tension on the thread must be. Notice the

stitching on your sample. If the fabric is
puckered (illustration A), lower the needle

thread tension by turning the tension dial to a

lower number. A correct satin stitching is
shown in illustration B.
