Closely spaced zigzag stitches are called satin stitches This is an attractive stitch

used for appliqueing, buttonhole making.

Whenever you are using this stitch, it is well to remember to loosen the tension

of the top thread slightly. The wider the stitch you make, the looser the tension
should be.

If you are stitching on a very soft fabric, it is well to use a backing of tissue

paper or interfacing for a well formed stitch,. Puckering of the materia! will be

eliminated and the bobbin thread will not be visible on the top side of the fabric.

As with all special stitches, it is best to make a sample design on your fabric
before starting the design on the garment.
