Decorative Stitching; Double Needle - Kenmore 16 Instructions Manual

DECORATIVE STITCHING
This machine enables you to sew beautiful decorative and embroidery stitches by means of
various discs supplied with your machine. The movements of the needle are controlled by
the disc. Basic decorative stitches are made with stitch width at 5 and stitch length at the
red marking on the dial. The latter will vary slightly depending upon the type of material
to he sewn. All patterns also can be made with double needle. See page 31. Pattern will
be changed if using any other length or width. Decorative stitch No. 1A is generally
referred to as the satin stitch.
It is necessary to reduce the top tension somewhat for decorative stitching. As the stitch
width is increased, the tension should be decreased. This will prevent the material from
puckering and will prevent the bobbin thread from coming up on the top of the fabric.
