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 STITCH LENGTH

• Turn stitch length selector dial to 1,

• Run the machine at a slow speed and grad­

ually turn stitch length dial clockwise until

stitches are closely spaced and form a
smooth surface.

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 puck­
ered. lower the needle thread tension by

turning the tension dial to a lower number.
