SATIN STITCH
TENSION ADJUSTMENT
Satin stitdaing requires a lighter needle thread
tension than straight stit<hing or open designs. The
wider the satin stitching the lighter the tension
required.
Wide satin stitching, stitdi width lever at 5, requi
res the least amount of tension. For narrower satin
stitching slightly more tension should be used.
To determine correct tension setting, a test
sample should be made on self fabric using the
Special Purpose Foot. A properly balanced satin
stitch should lie hat across the material. Any taut
ness or puckering indicates too high a needle
thread tension.
Some soft fabrics may require the addition of a
backing to insure good stitching results. Crisp
organdy and lawn are suitable for this purpose.
