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.

ually turn stitch length dial clockwise until

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.
