Satin Stitching
Satin stitching and solid, closed design stitch
ing require a lighter needle thread tension
than for straight stitching or open design
stitching.
NEEDLE THREAD TENSION
Soft fabrics should be
backed with crisp lawn
or organdy to prevent
cording and the dial
should be set at 2 or less,
as shown in Fig. 66.
Fig. 64
Wide satin stitching re
quires the lightest sew
ing tension. Set the ten
sion dial so the indica
tor line is between 0 and
2, as shown in Fig. 64.
At ''0” there should be a very slight pull on
the thread to indicate there is a minimum
tension.
For
narrower
satin
stitching, slightly more
tension may be used. Set
the dial between 2 and 4,
as shown in Fig. 65.
