Satin stitch
Satin stitch, a zigzag stitch in which the stitches are very close
together, is particularly suitable for appliqué, monograms, and various
decorative stitches.
Presser foot: ..................................................................................................Standard foot
Program: .....................................................................................................................K and L
Stitch length: ................................................................................................................0 to 1
TIP
Whenever you use this stitch, reduce the upper thread
tension slightly. The wider the stitch, the lower the upper
thread tension should be. If you are sewing very thin or soft
fabrics, you should place a thin piece of paper under the
fabric and sew this too. This prevents stitches being missed
and the material gathering.
Blind stitch
TIP
Sewing blind stitch requires some practice and should be
practised on remnants of fabric before sewing.
For blind hemming.
Presser foot: ...................................................Standard foot with guide attachment

Use a thread colour that exactly matches the fabric.
If you are sewing very light or transparent fabrics, use a transparent
nylon thread.
− In order to fit the guide attachment, undo the screw (27) on the
presser foot holder and push the guide attachment under the
screw, as shown in the diagram.
− Tighten the screw again.
− Place the fabric down in front of you with the top facing down.
− Fold the seam allowance onto the underside of the fabric (A), as
shown in the diagram.
− Now fold the hem allowance onto the underside as well and pin
the seam allowance and hem allowance in place (see diagram
opposite).
− Then fold the entire blind hem over at the edge of the fabric, as
illustrated in the diagram. The edge of the fabric should overlap the
seam allowance slightly.
A
− Sew carefully along the fold,
making sure that the straight stitches are sewn on the hem and that
the tips of each of the zigzag stitches only pierce the top fold of the
fabric.
If you are using the guide attachment, the seam fold must be lined
up exactly with the guide attachment.
