satin stitching

When you wish to produce a satin stitch, make

a test sampie first so you can adjust stitch

iength and thread tension properiy. Soft fabric

may*require a backing to ensure a firm stitch.

Crisp organdy, iawn 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 sampie. if the fabric is

puckered, lower the needle-thread tension by

turning the tension dial to a lower number.
